"Even if what you say is true, the percentage of actuaries that actually make it that far are a minute percentage of the industry as a whole, possibly 1-2%. Good luck."

It is not 1-2% like engineering salary for actuarial science grows almost exponentially. While the top 10% for all actuaries is 140,000 about. The top 8-7% is around 200K, since growth rate is exponential. The same is true for engineering. This while in EE you start out making 55-60K a year, after 20 years you are making close to 200K.
