Hi guys, I'm currently on the road, but I'll be with you shortly, respond, etc. Answer about retirement annuity: "There are times when you could increase it significantly to a max of 27% of CTC, so I just did for the period. But it’s usually 18% on a monthly basis. So it’d be around 48k, But people usually take the minimum - 13%, that’s why this might seem odd cause I’m paying double."

[@SA_PASF]

Wits has only produced 650 actuaries since 1983, meaning they produce 16 actuaries per year😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. That's some hard course

[@nkosikhonamthethwa2895]

Very hard. I know someone though who completed it in record time. Just imagine

[@nkosinathilinda1879]

@@nkosikhonamthethwa2895 Getting it in record time is not a problem, the problem is getting your degree WITH the exemptions that determine your starting earning potential...Getting exemptions is a lot harder than just getting the university pass.

[@zanelemofikoe4800]

Most people don’t know the earning potential and this channel is doing that, helping people seek for more and hopefully stay in school as you say👌🏾

That’s why it’s important to discuss salaries at work. We really do undercut ourselves by keeping it private. Especially when we have the same experience and qualifications. I see it with Wh#te counterparts. They get paid almost 2x with less qualifications and less experience.

[@Dali_88]

Even if you work at the same company doesn't mean we will earn the same salary. You don't get paid what you deserve, you get paid what you can negotiate. Life isn't fair, so you have to keep looking and learning to barter for a better pay.

[@liferesetwithboni]

Mmm sad for days

[@Dali_88]

@@liferesetwithboni I agree it's sad, it's not enough to do good work, you have to play the game and always look to increase your salary. These actuary salaries look super enticing.

[@simphiwerini9652]

If you are doing STEM stay in school to study furthur. Other qualifications are not economically driven by demand and scarcity. Actuarial science its advanced mathematics and statistics + investment sciences. They design the insurance products using risk analysis forcasting etc. So surely they will get a piece of the billions the insurance industry is making.

[@liferesetwithboni]

[@thapelobeqeke8560]

@@liferesetwithboni Math degree? If yes, then Math majors often struggle to find employment because their skills are highly technical and may not directly align with the needs of many industries. Additionally, employers may not fully understand the value of a math degree and may prefer candidates with more practical or specialized backgrounds. I have a Math degree as well, and I'm now a Software Developer, which is totally different from what I have studied. If I could, I would advise Math majors to do something different, or not end at BSc Maths, they need to do their post grad in a specialized field.

[@LM-he7eb]

[@zakhelembhele7046]

When you're an individual tax payer, the government seeks to encourage you to save for your retirement. If you have a retirement annuity (RA), a percentage of your yearly RA contributions can be claimed from SARS and it's called a deduction.

[@tshegophale2622]

Great content. I would like to give some potential insights for the last payslip. 1 - Statutory Actuary is a very senior position in a life insurance company with specific regulated responsibilities (actually and mostly an executive position). By law, every company requires one and can't be the CEO or CFO. 2- The Retirement Annuity payment looks to me like some sort of back pay, either a buyout bonus where it was agreed that it'll be paid monthly or something like that. The reason is that a) it is under earnings and not deductions, and b) In SA, contributions to RAs are capped at R350k pa (88kx12 will be much above that). Hope this helps.

What subjects do you need to do for acturial science is it level7 maths and economics

[@HOLTZRUD]

Maths ,physics English ,yeah level 7 maths ,preferably 90s for maths to be guaranteed a spot here at Wits.

[@thapelobeqeke8560]

Level 7s in Math, Physics (if it is one of your subjects), English FAL, and if it is English HL, at least level 6. If you took the commerce stream in high school, your Economics, Accounting, etc. need to be at level 7. Generally, universities require AT LEAST 42 APS points. This could mean that you would need to get at least 5 level 7s, and it would be great if you get them on the important subjects I have outlined for standing a chance. Never get anything below level 6 on the remaining ones. It is very much doable with hard work and dedication.

[@liferesetwithboni]

Yooooo

[@summertime_magic]

if you are not in a rush or you have level 6 in math do a math degree at UP with Statistics electives (for data science opportunities) and then maybe get a Bsc Hons math/actuary at wits or UP
