Can you major in accounting, and minor in Actuarial Science, and still have a good chance with a lot of studying to pass the preliminary exams?

That is a good combination major for this. I would suggest contacting advisors in your departments to get specific pointers to pass the exams.

hello, I'm 23 and in college for my accounting degree, I have 3 years of accounting experience and just got my license as an insurance agent for a life insurance company. I would like to ask you, do you think I'm on the right track? Or should I take any other classes and search for the proper job to become an actuary in the life insurance field before completing my exams to get certified? thank you so much! 😊

+Exchangeraider Ash I don't know what your level is, but I am sure that some of your math and science teachers would be happy to offer guidance, if you ask them. As for online lectures, there are many choices. Many universities publish lectures here on KZbin (put a university's name in the search box, e.g. Stanford). In addition, you can go to ocw.mit.edu/index.htm for MIT's lectures, online.caltech.edu/ for CalTech's or www.edx.org/school/harvardx for Harvard's...these are just three of many.

+Joe Scioli There are probably many other majors that would be much better suited to sports management than actuarial science. I would suggest that you do an internet search to find the names of some sports management organizations, perhaps near you, and ask people there for advice on what would be the best route(s) for you to take to work in that field.

I am a junior in high school, who takes Honors Pre-Calculus, and is wondering if Actuarial Science would be a good way to work within the sports management business. I will be taking AP Economics, Statistics, Calculus, Psychology, and Accounting next year.

+G Arunkrishna Thank you for your kind comments. A list of the "best universities in the world" would involve a lot of opinion. Why don't you do an internet search and then discuss options with your parents and teachers. Generally in the USA, it takes about four years to get a BSc and another two to get a masters. After that, the time is variable, depending on school and specialization, but perhaps four to six years.

Amrita Kaur Matharu First find out if your college or university has an actuarial program (probably in the math/statistics department). If yes, speak with an adviser on the faculty to guide you specifically with next steps, such as courses you may have to take, how to arrange to take the first actuarial exams and internships that may be available in that field in your area. If not, look for a college or university in your area that does have an actuarial program and try the same things. In any case, you can go to the Society of Actuaries website: soa.org, to get information on next steps that you can pursue.

MrGMXander Based on your question, I did a bit of research recently and it seems that the prospects for a career as an actuary are still very good in the U.S. Insurance companies in particular, seem to have the greatest demand and because the qualification process is so difficult and time-consuming (takes about ten years to fully qualify, on average), competition for the few available jobs stays low. Though the number of available positions in total is pretty small, as with any position, there is attrition, as older people retire or others move on to other kinds of work.

Very enlightening video! I was hoping you can answer a few questions for me? It is now 2014, a few years since the creation date of the video, are actuaries still as in demand or are they declining? And I am assuming that most jobs are in large metropolitan areas? Can you elaborate on how abstract algebra is beneficial and what is adv calculus? Is there any other pure math courses that should be taken to supplement the applied ones?

I am currently in my fourth and final year of my double honours degree in Mathematics and Physics at university and I was thinking of going into actuarial science after. I've studied subjects like adv calculus, geometry, graph theory, combinations, linear algebra, real and functional analysis such as Hilbert and metric spaces. Will these subjects help me understand concepts in actuarial science? The problem is that in these 4 years I've never done any financial mathematics, finance, accounting, optimizations, linear programming and ive only done very basic statistics. Would this be a problem if I want to pursue this career? Thanks
@mathdbase 10 жыл бұрын
It would seem that you have gone considerably beyond the "pure mathematics" required to become an actuary. Most if not all of the mathematics and Probability and Statistics specific to actuarial science you can learn on your own, they are certainly much less challenging than Functional Analysis. If your university has an actuarial science concentration, I would suggest speaking with an adviser about picking up any of the more specialized courses, such as Operations Research. If your university doesn't have that concentration, perhaps another in your city does. It may be worth an extra year to you, just focusing on those courses,
@jamesgodfrey1729 9 жыл бұрын
bernvall I was in the same boat as you, had a degree in Mathematics but had no clue about financial jargon besides p = e^rt. I went to soa.org and just started trying practice problems, looking up the definitions of terms I didn't understand along the way, and learning by force. I would recommend strengthening your statistics and you'll be fine. For example I looked at an equation and went huh where is this even coming from(a angle n cross i)???... Oh it's just a geometric series I can work with to get what I need. Basically all you need is a strong understanding of the terminology, how to set up the problems (which you're clearly smart enough to figure out), and strengthening of your Probs & Stats.
