<p>I’m not suggesting that the poster pursue an actuarial and medical career at the same time. I simply meant that if she’s interested in becoming an actuary, she should try her hand at the exams first, before fully committing to an actuarial science major. </p>
<p>If she becomes an act sci major, then later on realizing she can’t finish the exams, then she is basically out of options, since med school will hardly be impressed with an act sci degree. </p>
<p>An act sci major with no exams is worth less than the value of the paper the diploma is printed on.</p>
