What does an actuary do?
Actuaries tend to straddle the line between mathematician and coder. They use programming tools in their day-to-day life, but rather than building an app, they use those tools to calculate risk. That could include things like:
- The risk of a stock market investment
- How to set prices for life insurance
- Helping hospital management create policies
For people who enjoy math and can excel in higher-level courses, the career outcomes for actuaries are outstanding and it provides a stable, well-paying career path.
