When I was little, I can assure you I never answered the "what do you want to be when you grow up" question with "actuary." I don't even think I knew what actuarial science was until high school when I took one of those random career aptitude tests. It seemed great at first - wow, there is this super secure job that pays a ton and is pretty much made for math lovers like me! I want in! Well… not quite. I'm pretty sure they left out the exam part on purpose. Or maybe I underestimated the exams. Regardless, I'm 30% of the way there and still learning a lot about the profession every day.
If you found this site, you're probably already aware that Actuary has consistently been ranked one of the top jobs in the United States (#1 in 2015). As a result, more people are trying to break into the industry and it's becoming more difficult to get an entry-level position. On the resources page, I've tried to compile every single relevant and helpful site I could think of that may be of interest to anyone interested in the profession. I will also post regularly on my blog about exams, networking, interview tips, resume tips and other related information.
