    Merchant banking

    If, "in general as being the most prestigious and recognised profession in business." how come it seems to pay much less than these other fields we have discussed. According to the AIAA site (http://www.actuaries.asn.au/) new FIAAs can expect between 90-110K and as u get to be a senior actuary...

    gm, you recommended to go with the App Fin double degree (which actually is the most popular double degree at MAQ). I'm currently enrolled in the actuarial/science (1st year) with the option to choose either computing or mathematics as a science major. I've read that ppl who are involved in the...

    gm, do you think actuarial studies as a bachelor degree is too insurance-specific to lead me into possibly a quant job or something in IB? Or would you tend to agree with some of Arkad's thoughts on this matter?

    Merchant banking

    Ok i can appreciate what you're saying about the safety issue...i get the feeling that (provided u land a job) there is more job security for actuaries rather than quants. You said the bachelor degree isnt all that important...but do u think that by doing the actuarial degree...its a bit too...

    Ok so ive enrolled in actuarial/computing at MQ But from what i see here: quants, ppl in IB and traders make a lot more money than actuaries.

    Seraphim: I thought you wanted to get into Quant analysis...why are you after actuarial exemptions ?

    Merchant banking

    Hey Arkad, you said before that a quant can earn much more than an actuary? Do you have any sites that display statistics about quant salaries etc? Also, I've heard gm mentioning previously you can study at places like UTS etc. I thought that employers more highly regarded the more 'elite'...

    How to get approval

    when we speak of HHD, are we talking like mid 90's? I'd figure like maybe the top number1 person would get like 98s or 99s (maybe 100s??)

    How to get approval

    Yeah, if i really wanted to do it i would have said "yes" and so forth. But i don't really see it as some kind of major obstacle anyway.

    Apprentice 3

    10.40pm? Geez, before they had it at more decent times like 9.30 or 8.30. Why so late? I thought this show was quite popular. Regardless, I'll be watching.

    gang rape retrial

    Good thing the law is not up to you. I am not argueing that they did not commit a crime. What i am saying is that 55 years is a rather extensive period when compared to what murderers and war criminals get. Maybe there was a public outcry about the sentencing because the public heard...
