<p>If some of you are interested in being an actuary, I recommend visiting an excellent introductory site:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.beanactuary.org%5B/url%5D”>www.beanactuary.org</a></p>
<p>One important thing I forgot to mention earlier. Any math or business oriented major will suffice for this job.</p>
<p>In order to get an entry-level job; only 1 exam is required (2 or more exams will obviously look even better. Technically, no exams are required but your chances of finding a job increase exponentially with each exam passed). It is rare to find a job without passing any actuarial exams but I have seen certain individuals at my university do it.</p>
<p>The first exam tests undergrad. level probability while the second exam tests financial mathematics. </p>
<p>Information on salary / exams / and all else can be found in the website I posted above.</p>
