In order for beginners to find accurate/detailed info about this career,
I start this post. Hope it helps.
Bible website:
www.casact.org(later referred as CAS)
www.soa.org(later referred as SOA)
Good reference websites:
www.ambest.com ( industrial info )
www.actuarialoutpost.com (a very useful forum)
www.beanactuary.com (considering a career?)
www.dwsimpson.com (jobhunting and salary survey)
Strongly suggest you check the two website above before asking questions,
since more than half of the questions I've seen on this board have obvious
answers on those two websites.The basic questions include but not limited to
1.Who are actuaries/What are actuarial exams?
2.How many exams for life/Property & Casualty?
3.What is the difference b/t life path and casualty path?
4.Where/when/how can I take actuarial exams?
5.Do I have to be enrolled in a (university) actuarial program to take exams?
6.How much do these exams cost?
7.Which University has acturial programs(undergraduate/postgraduate)?
8.Where to find study materials?
