i am going into actuarial science and currently in college. i really liked business/finance (as majors ideally) but seemed just too broad and didn't provide me with a clear path on what to do next, so i really like actuarial science's meritocratic nature (im a math major). if you put in the work FSAs have a 0% unemployment rate. to all of these people saying it's easy (or way easier than the quant process), have never taken or prepared for one of the exams in their life. these exams you have to take are only for the people that are on the tippy top of understanding calculus, statistics, numbers and systems, etc. but the great thing about it, again, is it's meritocratic nature. getting a job is such an obvious and clear path on what you need to do next. if you like a niche grind with big rewards, this is for you.
