Im not sorry and I have to say this.
Actuarial Science is not your field even if you are very bright.
It's for the one that truly understands and appreciates the existence of this profession.
Unless you have been through in either insurance industry, accounting industry and financial industry.
I would just want to ask, how much do you know about actuarial studies?
No idea? Ok please don't ever think about it.

Just for your information, I have been thinking to take a degree in actuarial science for 6 years back in junior 3(form 3) (oh my god, how pro I can be when Im finally an actuary??!) but ended up in an accounting and finance degree, for which later on I will definitely take CFA professional exams.

Whoever choosing between actuarial science and finance, please make sure that you are well aware of what they are doing in that industry.

Be prepared for the hardship that is coming to you, whether you choose any of them. You are going to suffer not only for the time during the studies but also after that.

I have realised that a lot of people are now going into financial studies for which they think they can 'handle it'. Good for them to regret one day.

Let's just hope that you can mentally believe in it before you physically start it.

Don't listen to people that only talks about salaries. It's totally bullshit. End of story.
