    As someone who talks to various actuary students/actuaries and teaches some actuary courses, I just wanted to share a few thoughts on the profession (and if anyone is in the industry and disagrees then please do correct me!)
    Basically, IF you pass some exams and get an actuary job, then it really is a pretty damn sweet job: good pay, relatively stress free (compared to other business/finance related jobs), paid study time (I thought I misheard one actuary when he said this!), and good job security (no matter what the economy does, we all will need insurance and whatnot...)
    That being said, the exams (even the 'easy' ones, P and FM) are not easy at all, and unless the situation has changed recently, it can be difficult to find a job, even if you have multiple (3 or 4) exams under your belt (especially if you don't have internship experience, which to me is BS, but it is what it is), so it might not be the best career if you don't live (and can't move to) a place with a lot of insurance companies.
    Also, I've had students who did actuarial internships come back and say to me that it's more boring than they expected (though I'm not sure what they expected considering actuaries are business professionals... so yes please don't go into the profession thinking it'll be like your college math courses!)
    Lastly, as she says, spend time reading Actuarialoutpost.com!!! I can't emphasize how much honest information is there. Plus, it can get pretty damn funny in there (for example when ignorant idiots with public identities don't realize that they are actually arguing with experienced hiring managers and other industry leaders).

      Josh Isralowitz I might be late but I have a question for you , sir. What chances do I have to pass the actuary exams by only studying online courses and youtube videos ? P.S. : I actually am a educational math student in my college right now on my last year too and I don't see myself as a full time math teacher ( I know I'm late to just figure that out ). Just thought you might wanna know this and I hope you can answer my question ? 🤞🏻

      @@KuwaitiBerlin If you are OK with just printed/PDF material, then study guides (usually by ACTEX or ASM) are the gold standard. Online, I've heard good things about TIA and Coaching Actuary, and some people say they just use these material. So yes absolutely fine. Just have calculus up to and including multvariable calculus mastered and you're OK to start one of these!

    • @JI77469
      @JI77469 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KuwaitiBerlin Sorry for not replying sooner. I don't know of any good youtube sources (my youtube videos are god for learning the BASICS of exam FM material, but they do NOT do a good job preparing you for exam level problems).
      TIA (the infinite actuary) seems to be one of the most liked online course resource for exam P and FM. There's some argument over that vs Coaching Actuaries, but those two are the most popular it seems by far.
      I am very familiar with study guides (physical printed notes/PDFs) and ACETEX for P/ASM for FM will most emphatically prepare you well for those two. I don't know much about other exams. Hope that helps!

      I see, would I be able to for example, become a math teacher, take two actuary exams, and be able to get a job as an actuary? Or do I need some degree that has a focus on actuary math?

    You probably made a video answering these questions and if you remember making one please tell me which ones to watch but I was just wondering a few things
    -can you work from home/how long would you think it takes to earn the priveledge of working from home
    -how much time does being an actuary actually take out of your life
    -do you think everything in all your videos can apply to being an actuary in the United States too, since you live in canada

    • @Actuaryelle
      @Actuaryelle  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      At my current job, I can work from home a couple days a week, not permanently.
      Since I've finished my exams, being an actuary is just my job. When I was studying, it was on my mind a lot more often.
      Not everything I say applies to the US, no
