[@TiaraTanka]

2022 Update: My racist actuarial internship from hell: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kInKlaGAh6mahLc Please don’t be an actuary: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKDcopegg552r6M

I am currently working as an actuarial analyst. My advice is to get through the exams as early as possible!

Please elaborate further

What is your salary?

[@marietouakeita]

I was able to interview Joshua Savage who works for Coca-Cola in Alanna Georgia. He went to Georgia State and got his masters in actual science after getting a mathematical degree. He spent a bit of time being a low level analyst save his money and moved on to a roll he just chose to apply to. Now he travels a lot for his job which is what he wanted to do

👀cool!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@sirxavior1583]

Thanks for the info. I'm a Computer Science major and I've always had courses that overlap with Math Majors. What I'm curious is how much harder and different it whould be for a Comp. Sci major to take the exam?. If its a decent computer science program (not just programming) we still have to learn about proof techniques, discrete mathematics and the same standard calculus and linear algebra courses.

[@TiaraTanka]

You will probably still have to study for each exam. You’ll know you’re ready when you can consistently pass practice exams. Having a good calculus background is helpful, but unless you’ve taken a calculus-based probability course, you will probably need a few hundred hours to be ready for Exam P

I considered the same thing

Yayyy happy to help:)

@@TiaraTanka Also, if you don't mind me asking, was it expensive to have your music performed (and recorded) before you went to college? I'm also interested in music, so I was wondering.

[@TiaraTanka]

@@nathanielhope8202 I wrote and recorded the music in my portfolio at UNCSA’s 3 week Summer Composition/Music Tech Workshop. I don’t remember the tuition fees in 2015, but on their website they say that summer 2019 was $1,858 in tuition and $1,180 in room and board. I don’t know how much the musicians were paid, but it was included in the tuition which also covered bi-weekly private composition lessons, music theory and technology classes, and social events on campus
