WITS Actuarial Science

[@DankoNumbers]

I was once offerd Actuary at Wits(Got 91% in MATH),I had Passion for numbers and still do but I ended up taking on Engineering(Electrical and Chemical)and it was a nightmare,ended up dropping out and taking on CA at UJ and where I was both academically and financially excluded in my final year.Took a Gap year because of COVID and went to UNISA and was denied credits for some modules.Last year I was doing my final year in BCompt Financial Accounting and failed one module, currently repeating it... To everyone reading this,I wish you all the best and remember that our stories are unique but all carry an element of triumph in them. God Bless....❤

She is right, job shadowing is very important. I would actually recommend that matriculants take a gap year after matric just to rest and to really look around. Especially the hard working, high performing ones. The fatigue that sets in when you are a varsity student who is already tired from high school can ruin your morale. I wanted to do Medicine, did BSc at Wits, went to work in a clinical trials and diagnostics laboratory as I was planning to go back to school for medicine, but the lab showed me that medicine is not for me. You don't wanna do a job you are gonna hate the rest of your life just cuz you spent 5-6 years studying it while wasting money. Take the gap year. you need it more than you think.

[@gatliso]

Bro, literally me 😭 people's marks usually drop on first year because they really needed a break but didn't get one or never considered it because of peer pressure and the pressure to become the bread winner or the feeling of wanting to secure a future at a young age🙌🏾 I know students that didn't do very well in high school which took a gap year and ended up being one of the best students in Uni, and i mean students who get 90+ average

[@vuyiswam4664]

I dropped out of civil engineering, 23 and I'm about to restart a new degree, this is very valuable advice

" I got 5% " 😭😭 how did bro keep a straight face , I would laugh me dead . Jokes aside this just shows how difficult the course is .

[@HunadiMashweni]

It`s a varsity thing to get 0% and the 10%. No one can say they have been to university and not have failed a test or an assignment. You may go out and ask you`ll see what I`m talking about.

[@bzungu]

Great initiative. I listened to it with my grade 12 daughter who is already busy applying to universities. I laughed because she took me back many moons ago when I failed my Statistics tests in the beginning to a point where the lecturer asked me why I was doing it😂😂 But at least it was not 5%😂😂😂 Laughing at your failure is actually a strength on its own, as long as you learn from it, which is the case here.

[@bonakeleelphusmaziwazo4670]

When I was in Secondary school I wanted to be a CA ,then when I was doing Matric I became interested in Electrical Engineering not because I loved it but because someone was doing it and always explaining about it during holidays when he was at home. So I applied for Electrical Engineering at CUT and BAcc at UFS unfortunately UFS denied me to register because I had problems with NSFAS application as for CUT I didn't submit my Statement of Results then they ended up rejecting my application. I took a half gap year ,in April CUT opened applications for Second semester for Electrical Engineering, I applied got accepted and registered.In 2019 I found that I am in the wrong course it was just a peer pressure 😂...I dropped and applied for Accounting Degree at same institution ,then my uncle influenced me to continue with Electrical Engineering in 2020 😂😂😂,Still I got no interest on it and I kept failing until I got financially excluded...then I stayed home from 2022 to 2023.This year I am studying BEd in Physical Sciences and Mathematics at UNISA which is what I have been running away from,only to find out that this is my calling and passion 🤣🤣🤣 I have figured it out last year when I was working as an EA ,there was a time whereby a teacher wasn't available I was given a class to supervise and some teachers suddenly seen me and asked me why don't I just go and study Education and stop wasting my time. Now I am settled and happy even though the work load is high but for the fact that I ventured into my passion I am grateful. 🎉 What I can say is that figure out who you are, then you will get the idea of career path that you should take.

I used to respect actuarial science but after realising that the actuarial science students don't do any coding ay my respect for that field goes to the negative.

A good thing about science subject is the fact that they don't limit you. You can basically study anything always remember that. University is a very different environment don't worry that you have no background of maybe commerce meaning you will struggle. Start visiting University websites and download their year books they will show all causes and start Googling those that interest.
