Just my opinion, I think this kind of job opportunity in Malaysia is still very limited ... I remembered (if not mistaken ) ... share companies ( saham )

QUOTE(ysh_kobe @ May 17 2008, 02:41 AM) I checked and found out that qualified actuarian in malaysia is actually less than 80. Is this course very very very hard to study and is the job opportunity wide? Those studying this or have informations on this, welcome to drop your comments. extra extra extra hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the course is hard enough, but the USA papers are WORST. really cham de one p/s: i doing AS in utar, after 1st sem, 50 out of 200 drop out, then another 70 more drop out after 2nd sem, left 80. Now if i am not mistaken more than 30 drop out again, so.........this is oni year 1 btw |

I think i can handle it. I have the desire and love for maths and i like challenges... However, is UTAR the only choice here? Singapore got any?

QUOTE(ysh_kobe @ May 19 2008, 12:26 AM) RM10k for each single paper or RM10k for all the papers? I 1na be sure, btw, those are professional papers rite? Means only hold maybe once or twice in a year? for all papers cost > RM10k... the first paper will start with something around RM2k and get more expensive. Together about 9 paper ( not sure ... ). Imagine, 1 year for 1 paper ... you have to study> 9 years to become professional. Many students can pass the first 3 papers. But, you must complete all papers to be recognized as professional. But, of coarse smart/ clever one can finish it by half time period ... This post has been edited by work_tgr: May 19 2008, 08:47 AM |
