I want to ask a few question....

1)Many people say actuarial are focused on insurance industry.if we work on finance it say that our paid are lower because not fully utilize our capability (like there is no different between the finance grad ).
is it true??

2)Is the actuarial level knowledge in finance or account are same with finance and account grad??

3)how many paper we need to finish in professional exam??

4)I like involve in investment industry.is it suitable for me to take actuary science??

5)Is it becoming an actuary make you special and more important than accountant and finance worker??

i will graduate from uitm taking diploma in investment analysis.next i want to take actuary science.so which path is better:

a)pursuit in degree in finance and then take actuary professional exam or;

b)taking degree in actuary science for 3or 4 years and next take professional exam .
