The job of an actuary is supposed to be one of the best jobs to have--very low stress and very high pay and very high job security.

Of course, becoming an actuary is one of the hardest things to do.

yes I wanted to be an actuary, too. That is, until I found out what I had to do to become one.

my 30 year old daughter is an actuary at an insurance company in Indianapolis. She has always been a numbers freak. Passed her final acturial exam last year and now makes six figures.
