Actuaries
Introduction The future is always uncertain, but as an actuary, you will help make financial sense of it. Maths will be a big part of the job so ideally you should be studying for a degree with significant mathematical content – statistics, maths, engineering, science and economics are all ideal subjects. However, any graduate with strong numerical skills can qualify as an actuary. Good communication skills are also key. Actuaries often need to explain complex technical information to non-technical audiences, so words are just as important as numbers here. Because your own future will be wide open, you will also be the kind of person who’s ready for anything.		Online Magazine
