As opposed to doctors right.their stupid 8+ years qualification time and capped 200k (moar like 150k) pay! !
Most high end finance/accounting positions will require you to take additional education (CA, CFA, MBA), it is no different with actuaries.
Finance/Accounting vs Actuary - if you are confident of completing actuary with great marks then do it. A actuary grad will be looked upon better than the hundreds of finance grads just due to the sheer diffcuilty and competition. Yet there is no grad jobs a finance grad can attain that an actuary grad cannot.
Actuary vs Maths - both are great if you're looking into risk managment/quantitative kinda stuff. Since most of what you learn in uni won't transfer over to the real world, just do whichever interests you more. Apparantly it's easier to get higher marks in maths though. At the end of the day the degree/major won't matter to an extent, just how well you do in them.
