yeah but where would u find these neways???
i was actually thinking about doin actuary, are u doin it rite now??? or did u hear about it.

the problem with actuary is that only 30% of students actually survive through uni doing that course, or so i heard....

i have the same problem.. just do heaps of practice questions and tests --pace yourself, dont rush and dont stress! when istress about it i get more nervous, try and go faster and as a consequence make a lot of errors! so just pace, dont stress and heaps of practice!
good luck xoxo

it attracts me very much, i guess ne1 doing bloody probabilityall day and the such deserves to b rewarded, so in the end, i think its worth it (if i make it, the failure rate is a bit daunting)

do actuarial ppl actually get 6 figure salaries fresh out of uni? i full doubt this. even so, say after 10 years of working, the actuarial dude is regarded highly enuf to be hired by some huge corp and does get a 6 figure salary then thats cool. but then its basically like that for every other 'good' job isnt it?
