dgaronzik 1 Report post Posted April 2, 2004 Im considering a career change in the next year, this is one of the fields Im considering. I have an economics and international relations background, stats and other math arent a problem for me. Anyone in this field or know anyone in this field? Do you/they like it?

dgaronzik 1 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 One of my buddies is an actuary and other then the tests being hard and you have to study ridiculously for them, he enjoys it. The money is good, you get more money with each test you pass basically too. He also still has time to play hockey which is obviously very important to me.
