I'm so inspired. I'm a grade 11 student, female and I really love Mathematics,I wanted to become a doctor but as I'm growing I'm realizing there's more to life than being a doctor and there are definitely many other ways I could make an impact in some else's life. I think being an actuary could be a great career choice because I've been attracted towards it for a year now and my love for it keeps on growing stronger and stronger❤

I certainly believe that the future of a country does not only depend on the decisions that are made by the current leaders but it also depend on the young generation of that country. One of the dominant challenges faced by South Africa is inequality and high unemployment rate, the question is why and how can we (as citizens) collaborating with the government to solve these issues?? Firstly, we need platforms or rather channels like "CAREER DAY" that bring relevant people to share their journey and most importantly inspire young people (most especially black people who have been & are still systematically excluded) to dream big and be exposed to such careers. Thank you Mr Amogelang Kgaladi and to who ever started this channel, this is very inspiring indeed!!💯🙏💝

How long did it take you to complete the exams? And how many exams did you take a year??

[@careerday4607]

@@mrp9440 hello, it’s about 16 exams that you will take , most students take about 8/9 years depending on when you start. You would sit for your first exams in university (4) and the other (4/5) you would write when you start working. I would advise you to find out the path with your chosen university , because when you do your honors you might get some exemptions from the exams. All the best! ♥️
