It has been consistently rated as one of the top five jobs in the U.S. based on income, job stability, demand, and other factors.\u003Cbr>The actuarial field is unique, as it integrates mathematics, statistics, economics, and finance. This gives actuaries a wide range ofjob opportunities.\u003Cbr>Actuaries must have good communication skills, high ethical standards, and extensive academic training. Because their judgment is heavily relied upon, actuaries’ career paths often lead to upper management and executive positions.\u003Cbr>Most actuaries have at least an undergraduate degree and must pass a series of professional examinations in order to work in the profession. The two testing bodies in North America are the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) . Many students complete one or more of these exams while in college, and most reach Associateship within three to five years.\u003Cbr>For more information about the actuarial field, check out:\u003Cbr>[https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes152011.htm](https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes152011.htm) | What do Actuaries do?\u003Cbr>Actuaries work in various fields, including:\u003Cbr>· Insurance companies\u003Cbr>· Consulting firms\u003Cbr>· Governmental agencies\u003Cbr>· Colleges and universities\u003Cbr>· Banks and investment firms\u003Cbr>· Large corporations\u003Cbr>· Accounting firms\u003Cbr>Actuaries mainly work in two areas of specialty:\u003Cbr>· Life, Health and Pension (including Medicare and Social Security, etc.)\u003Cbr>· Property and Casualty (risks such as auto, homeowners, workers compensation, liability, and natural disasters, etc.)\u003Cbr>What Actuaries do on the job:\u003Cbr>· Determining rates for all types of insurance\u003Cbr>· Financial projections involving future uncertainty\u003Cbr>· Forecasting the potential impact of catastrophes\u003Cbr>· Analyzing investment programs\u003Cbr>· Assessing and managing risk for companies\u003Cbr>· Analyzing future costs of Social Security and\u003Cbr>For more information, go to:\u003Cbr>[www.beanactuary.org](www.beanactuary.org)\u003Cbr>[www.soa.org](www.soa.org)\u003Cbr>[www.casact.org](www.casact.org)\u003Cbr>[www.actuary.ca](www.actuary.ca) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n\n| What Sets UCF apart?\u003Cbr>The Department of Statistics at UCF has several professors who have passed the first five preliminary SOA/CAS exams.
