    Idk how to say but I wanted it from a long time...like you can't find more videos on acturial Science on web....! Thanks for this video😊

    I just realized how small your channel is...
    thanks for these free videos! it's so helpful
    I'm a high school student looking for what to apply for
    Math has always been cool to me, and I like applied work more than theoretical, so actuarial sciences has been really attractive
    your videos helped a lot in making this decision

    Hey, I'm in college to be an actuary right now and I'm the president of the SIAM chapter at my school, and we were trying to think of someone to have as a speaker, and I thought it would be really cool if you came in through zoom to talk to us. Let me know if you're interested, thanks!

    Keiana, thanks so much for this day in the life video! It's great to know that advanced programming skills are not necessarily required for an actuarial position because I'm not so confident in my coding abilities. Also found out about your channel from this video and the content on it is awesome!

    Hi.. thank you so much for the video. I wanted to find out from Kiena if she is already done with all of those actuarial exams, or she got a job with just her degree...
    And if you are done with your exams, are they manageable?

    • @EtchedActuarial
      @EtchedActuarial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Chifuno! You'll need to pass 1-3 exams to get an entry-level job. After that, you'll usually continue passing exams while working until you become fully qualified. The exams are difficult, but they're totally doable as long as you approach them with good study materials and a good study strategy!

    I dont understand y u left job and start a youtube channel, selling a paid services in it??.
    All these u could have done easily with ur job on..

      Hi there! I loved being an actuary, but I also saw how incredibly difficult it is for future actuaries to get into the career. I saw an opportunity to help people get into a career they could really love, and now I get to do that full-time! :) Thank you for the feedback!

    Have you ever had to use R or SQL? Recently, I've been seeing job posts that mention R, SQL, and python. It makes me so nervous haha.

    • @EtchedActuarial
      @EtchedActuarial  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, it's pretty common for employers to request, R, SQL, or python. But that doesn't mean you necessarily need to know ALL of them! And it's much easier to pick up other programming languages once you've learned one. I'd recommend checking out this video: th-cam.com/video/rnUN_I0S14Y/w-d-xo.html
      Hope this helps! :D
