The Actuarial Career

It's again the quarterly meeting for the members of the actuarial community. Here in my seat I see less than 100 people socializing with each other, establishing new connections or trying to maintain some. I personally am a newbee at this. This is my second time to attend an assembly and the only thing I can do right now is mingle with my peers and try to study other people. It is at times like these that I feel proud of the career path I chose to pursue. There are only a few of our bright minds here in the Philippines which means that there's always somewhere to go, career wise. Some sacrifices, however, may include sleepless nights from nonstop studying; and occasional mental and emotional breakdown from balancing your work load, exam study schedule, and social life (sometimes the last one gets scrapped altogether). It's a long hard road to be an Actuary but I'm sure I'll get there someday, hopefully before I get married. Eyes on the prize. That's all I need to think about. Or maybe I can think of the salary incease for each passed exam. I guess that's not too bad. :)
