I am an actuarial student at a university. I graduated with my associate's degree out of high school because of a dual credit program that allowed me to complete my college credits during high school. I am also a class valedictorian, but I don't have any exams passed. I am absolutely willing to pass 1-2 exams, and can ensure that I can pass them by summer, but I don't know if they care in a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush sort of way. Do you have any tips or advice?

First off, congrats on being valedictorian and graduating with an associate’s degree-that’s a huge accomplishment! It’s normal to feel unsure about the importance of exams at this stage. From my experience, having passed at least one exam can really boost your resume and make you stand out to employers, especially for internships. You’ve got a great foundation, so focus on passing those 1-2 exams by summer-it shows commitment and progress, which is what employers really care about. Keep pushing forward, and good luck!

This is very helpful! I graduated with a Bachelor in Psychology and have been working in social work for 5 years but thinking of switching career to actuary. Would you say it’s possible to get a job with exams passed and not having to go back to school for a degree in finance? Thank you!
@EtchedActuarial 4 күн бұрын
It’s great that you’re considering a career switch to actuarial science! With exams passed, you can definitely land a job in actuarial roles without a finance degree. Many employers value exam progress and skills over specific degrees. It’s a good idea to highlight your problem-solving skills and any relevant experience in your applications. Good luck with your career change!

Thank you for this video, the difference is clearer now. I still would like to know how the difference is when we talk about the investment part (quant vs actuary). I suppose that quants are more focused on short term investments and actuaries on long term investment but I would still like to see how they do that. I also would like to know the difference with econometricians and as last could you maybe make a video about actuarial work from an objective perspective? I saw some videos of actuaries being interviewed but the thing is that those videos are subjective so I still don’t really have an insight about what actuaries exactly do and what the expectations are. Or do you already have a video about this topic?
@EtchedActuarial 12 күн бұрын
Thanks for your thoughtful comment! You're absolutely right-quants often focus on short-term investments, while actuaries usually deal with long-term risks and investments. The difference with econometricians is that they mainly focus on applying statistical methods to economic data, which can overlap with both fields but with a different emphasis. I'll definitely consider making a video that objectively explores what actuaries do and what the job entails. I don’t have one like that yet, so stay tuned!

How much does it help to go to a college with an actuarial science major as opposed to just doing finance or something? Does it matter?
@EtchedActuarial 12 күн бұрын
Great question! Going to a college with an actuarial science major can give you focused coursework and early exposure to the field, which is definitely helpful. But, many actuaries come from finance, math, or other related majors too. What really matters is passing actuarial exams and gaining relevant experience. If you're interested in the profession, you can succeed regardless of your major as long as you’re committed to the path. 😊

Hi! I'm really interested in trying to pursuit a career in actuary, however I have no past experience. I did maths when I was at school but never took it further, and I am currently in university in a completely different field (BSc Archaeology lol). With that being said, I am determined, so do you have any recommendations for textbooks, websites, youtube channels etc that could help me create a solid foundational maths and stats knowledge? I realise this is a big ask but your videos are really helpful!

Absolutely, I get where you're coming from! It's great that you're determined to make the switch. Since you're starting from scratch, I'd recommend starting with basic textbooks like "Mathematics for Actuarial Students" by Harry Freeman and "A First Course in Probability" by Sheldon Ross. 😊👍

Will it be harder for someone who has a bachelors degree in an unrelated field like psychology because exams are less important?
@EtchedActuarial 20 күн бұрын
I understand your concern. While a psychology degree is different, your success in actuarial science will depend more on your math skills, technical skills, and passing the exams. Many people have successfully made the switch. Exams are especially important since you are a non-actuarial degree holder. Therefore, I suggest that you still go through the proper process to make it easier for you to navigate your actuarial journey.

It sounds like you have a diverse background and a strong foundation to build on! It's never too late to transition into actuarial field, especially with your aptitude for data science. Many successful actuaries start later in life. Consider starting with the preliminary exams, and look into courses or certifications that can help bridge any knowledge gaps. Your experience in insurance and advising will definitely be an asset. Good luck on your journey!

I a m not a math teacher, but I always liked solving difficult math problems. I am a retired Firefighter/Paramedic. Most of the job required being a paramedic. One has to "think fast on their feet" i.e. quickly analyzing a 3 lead of 12 lead ECG on a patient to determine if they are having a heart attack (STEMI), or if a patient is in cardiac arrest, so that you can save their life. The skills that I learned on my own i.e quickly analyzing an ECG while in college, definitely translated to saving lives in the real world. Their are few things in life that one can do that are more gratifying than saving your fellow man/womans life.

I have obtained my BSc in Actuarial Science, managed to land a job as a Business Intelligence Analyst(Yes, Power BI is used heavily). I want to be a Data Scientist/ Engineer in the end. Anyways, my guidance on the Power BI thing is to practice and with 1 year of experience I am still practicing. To be honest if you are coming from a non computing background then DAX may be your biggest challenge here, creating the visuals isn't difficult but creating the necessary measures required for certain required visuals may have you thinking for a while. Understanding row and filter context is also important. Udemy has some solid Power BI courses, I have personally taken courses created by Maven Analytics and Sean Chandler. Truth is it seem like most careers are getting more techy so you might even want to start learning some python. All the best guys.
