[quote=Anonymous]The actuarial field is shrinking as they did a lot of work on pensions and they're getting shut down. Plus, passing the exams is HARD and takes many years. So you may choose to go down that path, but I'd encourage you to peruse something else. Stats is a great field (that's what I'm in). Govt hires a lot of statisticians, but to move up you really need at least a master's or a PhD. If you do Big Data - tech field, startups, be sure to learn some programming languages. SQL for sure, I work in SAS, but there's also some newer languages that start-ups are using. Plenty of open source languages (like R). Engineering and Physics use a lot of math, so you may want to look into those as well. Econ and Finance are good paths, but Wall Street has been contracting in recent years so you’ll need to be pretty good and go to a better school to get into this market. And in this line of work, you will likely need a graduate degree, as well.[/quote]
