At my university we could start the Actuarial Career Path from year 1. Just like the guy at 3:37. He is also South African, you can tell by the awesome accent
um.. the mean of entry actuaries are around $75,000. The mean of the top 50% is easily in the upwards of $95,000 - $125,000... look in the occupational handbook for an actuary.
I can support KCI's argument, it is unreasonably hard to find an entry level job in the field of actuary. Companies say they always want to recruit actuaries but don't want anyone with no experience. It is a vicious cycle.
They recruit lots of people straight out of uni. The vast majority of which didn't study actuarial science. Yes it's competitive. If you got a 2-2 degree you won't probably get an interview.
is it too late for me to become an actuary? I am 31 years old and I recently got accepted in a four year degree program with major concentration in Actuarial Science. Will my age affect my professional skills or job opportunities? thank you
THABANG JOSEPH Kotelo yea I enjoy learning new things but you gotta know your limits... people also confuse accounting for math... that is not math... actuary IS math. lol
A lot of ppl confuse maths with a lot of things,for instance when ppl find out i have a maths degree they usually follow that up with comments like,'So u like working with numbers or something' or 'U great with numbers'.Truth is I'm average and the same as the guy on the sreet with numbers and no i don't like working with them.And tht nonsense is not maths,they're just talking about arithmetic.Funny how some ppl whn they know about you they come up with an arithmetic problem to test you and how ur answer will be used to gauge the quality of ur degree and how good you are in math by those who often think of themselves as the 'enlightened ones' or 'clever ones',their confidence kills me the most i just can't hold back the laughter.But one thing for sure i will definitely persue this actuarial career startng nxt yr,but my programming skills though need a little bit of work
THABANG JOSEPH Kotelo how old are you? do you think age matters? meaning if you are young.. you can gamble and test out different careers.. when you are older.. you need to make money period.
Rob B. I'm in my 30s and yes no doubt abt tht one needs to make money which is why i want to persue this actuarial career path its very financially rewarding.At the moment I'm doing post grad studies in maths so a degree alone is lame and doesn't really get u great jobs n i can't settle for tht after all tht i've been through. But u computer science ppl with just a mere degree or even an uncompleted one you still get out there and land decent jobs.We don't have tht luxury. So to answer u i think life in general is a big gamble n sometimes u bet all ur chips n make ur bet,but sometimes u spare some of ur chips and still make the bet.At this age and especially if u already have something in the bag(i.e a job) its always sensible to go with the latter option n still make ur bet,without standing to lose any of the things u already have n worked hard for.So make no mistake i don't inted to lose any of the things i worked hard for,i seek only to add.
People make it look like the actuarial profession has 0% unemployment rate. It a very hard field to break in. If you're considering majoring in Actuarial Science in college, make sure you secure an internship else you'd have wasted all your time in college. The job market for entry level actuaries is preposterous and disheartening.Don't waste your time on this career. If i had known better, id have majored in Computer science or something it or programming related
Sir can we choose actuary even if we are in commerce stream and not with maths subject but my maths is very good and I'm interested in this job so can I get in this field ?

MJ the Student Actuary hey best tutor ever haha
MJ haha, like your videos bruh, coolest actuary ever
2.15 is the reason why I'm here !
Just because she ain't that pleasing to the eye doesn't mean you have to post a rude comment.
@@haveatyou1 he means it in a good way lol, as if she’s eye candy
@@manavdodia5464 Hehe, savage bro. But seriously no need to be rude or sarcastic. Not everyone is photogenic.
Yay, there's hope. I thought I started late, in Second Year, I decided this was the path I wanted to take.
There's no path here trust me. You're entering uncharted territory.
Still one of the best career routes out there.
Lol, give me a break.
@@haveatyou1 are you a disgruntled ex actuary then? Not many of those around!
No I just think these people are all talk no substance.
Why this profession is so underrated???!!!
I'm not sure I want to be an actuary if it would involve working with people like this.
Exactly. Like I said earlier, re-confirmed my choice to not be an actuarist. No disrespect to actuarist work though.
It's not that they're British, it's that they're actuaries.
will be getting there soon... not so soon but soon
um.. the mean of entry actuaries are around $75,000. The mean of the top 50% is easily in the upwards of $95,000 - $125,000...

danelwebb Many grads with first class degrees don't get interview either

It's in every field,except coding jobs
they've now changed the title of the video to "choose", probably as a result of my education
Some day, some day
8 years on and still some day mate.
Does it not? I've been qualified 10 years and I use maths every day. My job is basically "I play with Excel".
How is the career? thinking about getting into it...

+tati tu Na you are still young. Get in. This is the best profession in the world!
Also starting at 31!
if you are not AMAZING at math.. do not do this..I dabbled in it to see and I ran fast.. I am a computer data professional now and it is much easier.
Lol good to know your strengths man.But atleast you gave it a try and that's all that counts!

Can i do actuarial science at university while I'm doing mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences n geograph?
Yep
Is it ok to start at 45 + for actuar6
The screwface that Sarah Williams gives is HILARIOUS
she's so cute!!!
Helpful only if you provide a time stamp.
Sir can we choose actuary even if we are in commerce stream and not with maths subject but my maths is very good and I'm interested in this job so can I get in this field ?
Yes you can.
Only her name was not given
It's the English language so my guess would be English people are right.
0:34 - robot malfunction.
Maybe you're not involved in programming while working as an actuary.
"Chose" is the past tense of "choose".
Your early EXAMS involve higher math, NOT your JOB.
Ha Ha, No we don't. LoL. Eloquent is the word ;)
dafuq? It does..I am an actuary
Deloitte represent!
why do british sound so damn boring?
Nah it's just these particular British make the unpleasant sounds you're hearing.
I actually prefer the British tone
honwstly the biggest copy/pasting fraud i've ever seen. you've posted this on every video.
01:07 He needs to fix his hair
Thanks for re-confirming my choice not to be an actuarist.
Wait why
@@dylanr4854 You didn't watch the people on the video?
