Lisa G.’s Answer

Hi Michael. I am an actuary - a professional who studies risk. I work for a large accounting firm. You may want to consider looking into actuarial science. As a career you do not necessarily need a specific undergraduate degree, but you do need to be very good at math. To become a professional, you do not need to attend graduate school. Instead you have to take and pass a series of very difficult mathematics, statistics, and investment related exams. Often you pass a few while in college and then get an entry level job as an actuarial student. Part of your job will be passing the exams. The rest of your job will be learning about the actuarial business. You can find out more at: http://beanactuary.org/ BeAnActuary

My daughter's fiance just graduated with an Applied Mathematics degree. He works as a Data Analyst working for a company running Risk Analysis reports. He worked part-time as an intern and was hired on full-time after graduation. Applied Mathematics is a great option for those who love math. Good luck in your endeavors and future career.
