We actuaries like to think our entrance requirements are quite difficult.  Furthermore, you will be competing with mathematics majors and others who have taken say thirty or more college credits in mathematics beginning with calculus.  Why don't you visit www.soa.org, search under Education for a sample exam, and judge for yourself whether the first exam looks difficult or not.  keep in mind that the first exam is the easiest of the series.\n\nActuaries also write reports, and we require excellent written communication skills.

This is a really hard question for everyone.  My advice would be to explore jobs that you think you may like. Shadow some people who do the jobs that you think you may like to do.  Talk to professors at college and ask them about the subjects they teach.  I found out what i wanted to be becuase I just kept asking people why did you choose this and how did you know this is what you wanted to do what do you like about it?  If you dont know and you are trying to choose a school i would choose a school with a lot of majors so you can explore and change your mind if necessary. Goodluck!

first you have to believe you can do it and it must be from your intention , plan what you have to do in your time ,don't be stressed (be relax) and try to have good friends to study with.

Susanne * stole my fire on this one.  Being an actuary is almost all math, and the work is challenging and useful.  Actuaries study and analyze data to come up with rates for insurance companies (health, life, auto, etc.), pension plans, business strategies, and so on.\n\nA starting actuary (with an exam or two under his or her belt) can make $30-40k per year.  A friend of mine got a job straight out of college after passing his first three exams and started at $45k.  Pass all ten SoA (Society of Actuary) exams and you could make $100-200k, annually.

You need to weigh what you have to do now against the result in the end.  Can you afford it?  Some people spend much more than that for college.  If that is what you want to do with your life, and you can afford it, go for it.  There is nothing like going to work and enjoying what you do, regardless of the pay.

It's perfectly OK that you are still unsure about the path you want your life to take. Many people are still unsure when they are ready to graduate from high school or college. Don't worry about what your friends think. Each of us makes these choices when the time is right for us. You will, too. Take your time and don't let anyone push you into making a choice before you are ready. God Bless!

No matter what you choose for a career, you will need to do things you don't like to do.  It's a fact of life.  If you did well in those subjects, you shouldn't have any trouble with proofs.  It's just a way of enforced, documented, systematic thinking.  If you don't like proofs, it's more likely a bad experience with a class or a teacher than with the discipline itself.  Talk about it with some of your academic friends, either in math or engineering.  Work through some examples with them, and they may help you figure out something in your thought process that's throwing you off track.

Follow your heart. Don't make yourself unhappy to please others. If anything, see if you can compromise. Change your major to something that may help you in real estate, like economics, business, management, or even communications (like public relations). Overall, I think you should follow your heart and do what will benefit you.

Look at a list of careers. Like a HUGE list. Cross off anything that you would never do. Then look at whats left... figure out what kind of education you need for the ones that appeal to you. Then logically think about what options are actually something you feel strong enough about to pursue them.\n\nI'm always very jealous of those who know exactly what they want to do and are driven to pursue it. I've switched though 4 majors in the past four years and still have no idea what I want to do.

Stop, think, maybe take a little time to consider if you are really ready to go to the next level.  This is not something one should rush - the time, the mood, the question must always be right for you.\n\nDon't feel that you are doing this for the sake of the gratification of others.\n\nGood luck hon - I know you will make the right decision.

It's tough trying to figure out what to do with one's own life.  At least you're not going to be a greeter at a lousy Wal-Mart!\n\nYou have to choose a field that has always been your life's passion, but have never had the opportunity to pursue the dream.  I know that you have a dream, and more than likely the lives of others have interfered with that goal.  What I want you to do is to sit down some evening with a college course offerings booklet, and with no one around, try to imagine yourself in one of those positions.  As a doctor, a lawyer, an accountant, a nurse, a mathematician, ect.  You can't force it - it just has to come.  And, perhaps, it may take a week, a month, or longer, but when it does you will think "That's the one!  That's my purpose!" Eventually, it will come to you. \n\nRemember, if you can create an image in your mind's eye, your dreams will become reality.\n\nGod Bless, and may peace be with you.

you'll probably never be 100% sure what you want to do with your life. pick something you are interested in and work hard at it. if you end up hating it, there's nothing wrong with changing your mind later!  good luck!

face that circumstances, that is your challenge and training because someday when you'll finish your studies and you will have a job for you, and then you will have so much work to do so you'll have to work it over time, you can be easily adjust it because of your experience. don't just give up...that's normal. i'm also studying in a university and i already experienced more than that, i wasn't sleep the whole week, i thought that assignment could kill me but after all, i learned so much in it. i was happy when i got my high grades and now i'm ready to face the next challenge being a student. so, good luck. always think that the more you work hard the more earnings you will have. GOD BLESS

After the year is over, go on a vacation to clear your mind. Spend a lot of time thinking and be sure to only do what YOU want. If you still don't know work some 'mindless' job for a couple of months or maybe join the service. Don't pay a college money you don't even know you want to go to. Finding out what you want to do is the most important thing for the rest of your life - give it all the time it needs.

Take it from a guy who came up the hard way.  Stay in school.  Learn all you can at every opportunity.  Learn to do as many different things as you can.  When you get to be my age you'll be thankful you did!

I had the exact same problem in college.  I think a lot of people do.  I was only 17 when I started college. I was so young, I had a great looking boy friend, that was not in college, and I did not know what to major in.  I actually quit college but not forever.  I went back and now, I have 2 college degrees.  \nJust don't give up.\nIf I were you, I would take general education classes or a couple of classes with subject you are interested in until I made a decision on a major.  English, Math, Typing, PE (Aerobics) or Sociology these classes will give you college units. You could also go to school part-time and work part-time.  That is what I did.  This will give you some time to decide on a major.
