QUOTE(Pistachio Lim @ Jun 27 2013, 04:57 PM) Hi, I'm currently a student who studying A-level in Sunway College. I wish to pursue actuarial science course for degree but I'm not so clear about the actual job prospect, salary, environment ad so on since none of my family members and friends is actuary. Somemore, is further math essential for actuarial science? . Anyone in this field can share some personal experience? I will be grateful to you!  why u study a level if u want to pursue actuarial science study?

QUOTE(Pistachio Lim @ Jun 27 2013, 06:32 PM) Why say that? I'll continue studying actuarial science degree after finishing A-level. Anyway, are you from Malaysia? usually people do A-Level to further their study in medicine/engineering/accounting...my time was different than yours, maybe you study under your own pocket not by government scholarship..because jpa only sponsor for elite course... now time has changed, if u got money, u can study in oversea... sorry old people bro,,,

QUOTE(Pistachio Lim @ Jun 27 2013, 07:42 PM) I'm a girl, don't call me bro...I'm sponsord by government. Somemore, actuarial sc is elite course. Pls make sure u know something before u comment. Thx  sound not legit if u are under jpa scholarship, jpa never sponsor students to further their study in actuarial sc,..plus for those who study under jpa scholarship even under A level, they already chosen by government to study under specific course...sound weird if u ask wht course should u opt .... actuarial science is not an elite course, only several universities offer that course which the entry requirement is low,...u dnt have to scare 4.0 in stpm in order to get into actuarial science...

QUOTE(kwh1989 @ Jun 28 2013, 09:57 PM) just because you never heard of any jpa scholars doing actuarial studies doesnt mean there's none. I am also a JPA scholar doing actuarial studies. graduated 1-2 years back. elite course or not, the requirement to be a fully qualified actuary is no doubt not easy. i was talking about jpa scholarship for those who study in oversea -A Lavel.....not local...to get jpa scholarship its very easy for those who study in local....even the field of study doesn't have prospect.. i know u want to defend yourself, but face the reality...most of student who opt to study in actuarial studies doesn't have good education background, 4 flat student will choose to study in medicine or engineering...that's the reality.. .the job not coming to u...but u must find a job...
