Yes, to both questions.  But, the question is relative to your experience, education, skill set.  A lot of the jobs are tied to service and retail.  Catering to retirees, etc.  However, International trade is big, as is agricultural.  \n\nRelative to from where your from ~ some of the state laws, can seem archaic (Flordia is afterall a Southern State).  I've heard that HRS (Human Rersources) can be more than a little over-zealous when it comes child protection.  Not a problem if you're taking care of and handling your business, but if its even suspected that you're not ~ then you can expect a knock at the door. \n\nFlordia doesn't have a state income tax ~ depending primaryly on sales tax for revenues so that's a plus.  \n\nYou couldn't pay me to live south of Tampa.  \n\nThe thing that I would have to ask you, is that you DO understand that we're in the up-swing of a twenty year hurricane cycle, and that Flordia is HURRICANE alley?  The last two years isn't a coincidence!  And it not going to get any better in the years to come (as in the next 18 years)  Having been through multiple hurricanes and typhoons, (lived in Japan for four years) they're NOT fun, and they're PRETTY!  Do you REALLY want to risk losing everything that you've worked for all of your life?  I live 200 miles from the Gulf Coast ~ and even that's too close.  But, its close enough in-land that by the time a hurricane has hit the coast ~and reaches us ~ its disipated in strength usally back to a tropical storm.  Although Opal gave us a whollop back in the early 90's.

Fortunately, you do seem to have a sixth sense that this scheme is totally off-the-wall.  When they talk about a return of 200% in 18 months is when you have to start laughing.\n\nIt's not a question of legal or not.  The scheme is offshore and you seem to be in the US.  There's no international body of law that could protect you.  If you're in Malaysia, perhaps the securities legislation of that country would provide some protection against pirates, but then, if you're in Malaysia you'd know that.\n\nIf you're not in Malaysia there's nothing to prevent Sunshine from disappearing with the loot.\n\nIn case you missed my point, please find something else for your hard-earned savings!

Do you mean in Actuarial Science position?  If so, then all the math you can take.  First you will have to go through calc and differential equations.  After that the target is 300 level statistics followed by 400 level stats at most universities.

Depends what currency type you are talking about!!! On a serious note insurance brokers make a lot of money by getting busines for insurers of type which build cash value like endowment, whole life, universal or variable insurance. One the amount of brokerage is higher secondly the churning of policies from one insurer to another is low in such cases.Lastly, start selling lots of market investment linked plans to make it rich in three years forget 5!!!!

Actuarial science applies mathematical and statistical methods to finance and insurance, particularly to the assessment of risk. Actuaries are professionals who are qualified in this field.\n\nActuarial science includes a number of interrelating disciplines, in particular the mathematics of probability and statistics.\n\nIn the life insurance industry, traditional actuarial science focuses on the analysis of mortality and the production of life tables, and the application of compound interest.\n\nIn the pension industry, actuarial science deals with methods of prefunding for retirement and proper measurement of liabilities that won't come due for many years. This is especially true with respect to the Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance program in the United States and C/QPP in Canada.\n\nIn the property insurance field which protects against losses like those caused by hurricanes as well as automobile accidents, actuarial science tries to forecast losses to homes and cars.\n\nMore recently, actuarial science has come to embrace more sophisticated mathematical modelling of finance. Ideas from financial economics are also becoming increasingly influential in actuarial thinking.

There is a real demand for skilled American workers abroad but there are so many scammers that it is very difficult to find off shore employment. The best way is through a friend or relative that is working off shore. \n If any agency asks for money before you go to work, run ! They ware crooked.

There are many risks, but most if not all of them can be handled with adequate planning.\n\nSome simple guidelines\n\n1) Compare corporate governance laws and limitations in both countries If you are targeting a particular country make sure you understand the legal structure behind their corporate gorvernance practices.\n\n2) Make sure that international arbitration treaties are honored by the country you are targeting. So long as you can protect your assets by international arbitration, you will have a legal "safety net" you can resort to  via an arbitration specialsts in your own country.\n\n3) Seek out the embassy and right trade chambers or federations, chances are there are a lot of companies who have allready built the bridges you need to get started in any specific country. . . (ie an american company seeking to do business in mexico can resort to the american chamber of commerce Mexico http://www.amcham.com.mx and seek industry specific legal aid to start business in that country)

India.  Lots of financial companies are now outsourcing their financial analysis to India.  But I doubt that's what you had in mind.\n\nYou could start by getting a job with a local office of an international finance company or investment bank, and then see if they would transfer you abroad.  It might be the easiest way to do this, and the company would take care of all the paperwork for you.

It is not illegal under federal law, but in most states it is illegal to bet on any game of chance, and it doesn't matter how the betting is done, it is illegal. The fact that it all technically takes place offshore is irrelevant. There is no decent way to enforce it, however.
