What is an actuary? My insurance consulting city job explained | Q&A

[@fairy1636]

May you be gifted with life’s biggest joys and never-ending bliss. You are such a precious gift to the mother Earth. Happy belated birthday, PaigeY💗

[@mollyanna023]

this is so far out of my creative brain’s capabilities but i admire how well you understand this stuff😂

[@teestabhattacharjee8804]

Thank you for this video. I am currently in my second year of studying actuarial science at uni in South Africa (so through ASSA and not IFOA) and I found this so useful. I met an actuary a few days ago and I asked him if he could explain his day-to-day work but honestly, you have done a much better job at explaining everything. Congratulations on passing 7 of your exams already! And I hope your next exam season goes well too :)

[@scientistjam]

actuary is total crap, i dont know how can someone choose this career.

[@kevindlamini9826]

[@lauragem796]

I can't believe how interesting I found this video. Looking forward to part two. Have a wonderfully blessed holiday season.

[@PaigeY]

comments like this mean a lot, thank you!

[@onehumanfromearth5063]

The work sounds interesting actually. Plus job stability, decent salary and your options and ability to pivot will only increase once you're qualified. Interesting service that incogni provides.

[@onitram83]

I see your enthusiasm and am sure it's your piece of cake. Glad you enjoy it!

[@RyanVGJohnson]

I went for something like this at uni but sadly didn’t get through, I’m a financial analyst and trader proprietary now.

[@wydtnoyctm]

Happy birthday Paige!!!

[@PaigeY]

Thank you!! 🎈

ear stick-in jewels with brillianten , opale , titanium , platinum also the combination to a neck chain which match this jewels perfectly... have a nice Sylvester Party

[@jamesramsey7159]

Wonderful presentation, full of great info. My opinion still stands, actuaries rule the world. Removing many areas of guesswork, supplying valid information that helps all of us in various ways. :o)

[@lux_2389]

I've been following you for a couple of years and with all due respect, you studied a wonderful career at the university, a very interesting career, studying physical and astrophysics sciences is incredible, it's a bit sad, that many people/scientists actually end up working in the world of companies and businesses, actually I'm not the one to judge and I think I understand why, I guess, but I don't know, follow what makes you happy anyway!

[@piafleig]

Thank you for the interesting video! I'm wondering what you'd think about which kind of person would enjoy the job, and which wouldn't? Like, character traits and interests that would support enjoying the actuarial profession! :)

[@SurenMaz]

Definitely sounds better than being a solicitor tbf

[@janinechanner8918]

I think this would be great with pictures or examples to help digest what your speaking about.

[@samw9089]

Can you talk more about climate change consulting for actuaries?

[@rondoflicflac]

Really interesting!!! Thanks for sharing x

[@sofiaa2421]

Thank you for your vedio. One question here is that can an actuary work remote even aboard?

[@nuha9044]

What are your thoughts about the IFOA's changes regarding "Chartered Actuaries"?

[@PaigeY]

To be honest I wasn't aware of the proposal until it went through! Not sure I understand the importance of labelling, but as long as I get some form of recognition once I qualify (because these exams are hard work) it's all good with me.

[@swampboybeatz]

Do you need a college degree to work in that?

[@AmnolGupta]

That's a nice sweater/pullover

[@fikilemkhize5776]

I am writing my advice, and I am nervous about the fact that I have to type in formulae and stuff under pressurized exam conditions using a computer. Do you think 3 exams are manageable? I have a master's in statistics and wanted to write cb1, cb2, cs1. I am currently lecturing statistics and Mathematics

[@chiro19811]

Hi Page, how does the undergraduate v graduate-actuarial course & training differ?

[@nicole_holding]

What if your details have already been sold? Not sure how Incogni can then help.

[@MissJools11]

What do your parents think of you becoming an actuary?

[@PaigeY]

Mum says “proud of you” 😌

[@katiemorrow5735]

Where did you get that jumper from? I love 😍

[@PaigeY]

Was from topshop, 3 or 4 years ago!

[@lennylaa1686]

Was there a nice office Xmas Party? Won't mention the mistletoe! 😜🤭🤫😚😚😚

[@benyoyyoyo8381]

cool jumper

[@benyoyyoyo8381]

[@tislaoman]

Shortest way to become an actuary

[@LadyoftheReach]

My question is do you miss science and not using your degree to the full extent? I am aware you are using your skills with statistics but not on your degree of Natural Sciences

[@ssoup7302]

Hi Paige: ) good video, definitely an interesting career to pursue, although not as exciting as Physics or Astrophysics. Have you ever checked your IQ? Could you tell what is your IQ?

[@paulatorres1683]

Thank you for the video! I confess I was one of the uninformed ones LOL

[@robertrodriguez362]

You are smart and beautiful!

[@niraj7616]

I wonder what % of actuaries actually take out life insurance? 🤔 😆

[@olwethungolotyi459]

Probably all LOL

[@amosmuya3317]

I hope you will make more videos now that you are free 😉

[@KimPhilby-kw6gu]

Sounds boring tbf; wage is good tho and that's all that matters in capitalism.

[@Steve-hu7jf]

[@lennylaa1686]

Bet you've got a few butterflies and collywobbles with that re-sit coming up! 🤔😒😔😵‍💫

[@alecerte9090]

Overatted jobs, in the end you will work in a very politicised environment, a lot of excel staff, some triangles, and a lot of hours extra to study exams for another 15 years 😀

[@bethaneydunne9682]
