HELP:::::::
Straight to the point, I am wondering what jobs are closely related to being an actuary. If you would have any suggestions to a gal who hasn't passed exams but might still be interested in the field of mathematics and business, I would completely appreciate it!

After graduating college with an actuarial science major and business minor, I still have not found a full time job. Throughout my college years I have tried to pass exams P and FM, but only have come so close. I recently tried again, and still didn't pass. Without knowing my score this time I am wondering if I should just try something closely related to the field.
I have always loved math, problem solving, and money, as I presently work part time as a bank teller (and was studying). The job doesn't pay well for being on my own, so I'm desperately wanting options.
I know insurance and finance is related, but I would apprecitate more specific job titles to be on the lookout for while searching. Anything would really help.

Ever feel like giving up studying when you have to work full time?
I just got married so i took a break from studying last year after I took a probabilty and calc 2 college courses as a refresher.
I find myself repeating the same several chapters over and over and then stopping for a while.
I work in insurance assisting with actuarial reports and analysis and debugging SAS programs and statistical reporting. I can't help the actuary too much with pricing reviews because I don't understand the methodolgies and models. I feel like my career path is taking me towards either a programmer or a statistician/actuary. I guess the result of these exams will tell me where to go. I always wanted to do this but guess I haven't tried hard enough to master specific skills. I'm 31 and really need a major boost in salary by the time i'm 40. I make 43K and my wife only makes 25K trying to buy a home on long island. Should I try and continue to learn both at the same time and see what I'm better at or what I like more. The statistics masters looked interesting 3 yrs ago, but I was at the bottom of my CALC 2 class. actually i didn't even show up for the final exam because i was stressed and the teacher passed me somehow. either get a B needed to qualify for the masters program or just learn the skills for the actuary exam and skip CALC 3 which is what i chose.
I don't think I could complete the curriculum or even get in to the program so I'm trying to self study for the exams instead so I don't have to worry about homework and taking scheduled class exams.
Can someone give me a reality push? ]]> SOA Exam P / CAS Exam 1 - Probability - with practice exam problems Al Bundy http://www.actuary.com/actuarial-discussion-forum/showthread.php?t=18826 ACTEX Study manual FET Brand new http://www.actuary.com/actuarial-discussion-forum/showthread.php?t=18825&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:49:37 GMT Bramnd new.
