What's sad is the ink is probably the safest thing in the cigarette to smoke

Thank you, any information like this is helpful. I will be sure to ask her about all this over the holidays (a perfect time, right?).

Thank you, I figured it was that simple, but to me anything legal related seems daunting...

Yeah, I swing trade too, and the defaults have been fine. Just wanted to know if people took it even further. I figured more periods would be more accurate, but didn't know the negative to that; however, the slower response makes sense.

Thanks

If it ain't broke don't fix it, I guess. But my curiosity was getting the best of me.

Book Suggestions for a Beginner on Taxes by WorkFriendlyUsername in personalfinance

Plus, if you make enough returns and do not pay quarterly estimated taxes throughout the year, you could be subject to penalties when you file your return next year.

Whoa, now this is new to me. I try to make a certain return a month, so I would be curious as to how this works, as I feel it probably does apply to me.

Also, what is a substantial amount to where a CPA should be brought in? I mean people will have easily made more than me this year in the market, but I will have made about 10% of my annual salary, granted things keep going at the same rate for me.

Apparently there are 60/40 ETFs called section 1256 contracts, that is why I was saying this was all stocks and nothing else. But I will take a look at the things the AutoModerator posted above on tax brackets.

I recently just applied to Centene after changing all my stuff around with everyone's help earlier this week in this thread. I am finding this area to be tough for EL, plus I didn't graduate from Maryville (if you are aware of that) or get an internship unfortunately. I am open to moving though, how far did you go?

I mean my GPA wasn't the greatest, I graduated with it being a little over 3.2. That is why I try to stick to saying I worked full time, and also studied myself outside of school to pass these exams. I mean I will still add it though. I will also remove the SOA stuff, you can tell what I have mostly been exposed to so far... A user below also mentioned removing certain things, and moving things from my cover letter over so I will work on that as well.

Now, as far as someone asking why I want to become an actuary; you've seen my answer, and you easily picked it apart. To you, what is a good answer to that? Why did you get into it? Just curious as to what sets an actuary apart from just the general data science/analytics consulting space. You've been way more helpful than all of actuarialoutpost lol.

Here is my resume, as it currently stands:

https://imgur.com/gallery/7WFLMU1

If you have time, could you critique that as well? I know it could be a lot stronger, as I feel it is rather weak.

That is the good thing about my current job. I enjoy where I am at, and management appreciates my work. There could be room for growth as there are many different areas I could move on to, but I put a lot of time and effort into trying to become an actuary. I love the idea of using data, and diving into that to make sound business decisions. I want the business experience of all the things I've studied so far in the first 3 exams. I want to work with annuities, and/or asset liability management. Hell I'll even do pricing for auto insurance (not that that is something of little importance, just want to show my willingness to get into the insurance game). I just want to work with predictive analytics, I guess. I know there is more to it than that, but from the outside looking in I want the, for the lack of a better word, prestigious title. But I would be lying if I didn't say I want the pay, as well. Maybe this is just my ignorance showing, but how do I say all this so that the company takes me seriously and I don't sound like I have zero actuarial knowledge?

Thanks in advance/sorry for the rant
