Please allow me to ask a little question here.
What're the benefits to gain exemption after the technical Actuarial professional papers (eg CT for IOA/FOA) by pursue to master rather than collect experience by working for actuarial tasks?
I know that UK/US countries have a lot of actuary job-entry level, some companies may even provide study hours to assist you pass your exam. Study master and gain exemption for more further stage of papers will be advantage and more secure. But what i'm thinking is most of the job entry only require you to have some credited papers (let say 1 to 3), so if you manage to obtain 8 exemptions with degree level will be very excellent and delight employers.
To summarize my words, master in AS may only for those people want to do teaching or broaden the AS knowledge in a shorter period of time. Hope somebody can enlighten me.
