just got off the phone with my dad, CFO of financial firm and he has ripped me a new one over my decision to become an actuary.
he has always wanted me to become an accountant - i find accounting mind deadeningly boring. so boring i could stab myself
when i stumbled onto quantitative analysis this year, my mind literally exploded. i love everything about statistics i think this is my calling. if i could do this every day i know i'll be challenged and not bored
he says that actuaries are a dying breed - less jobs every year, more and more people trying to get in to the field and that i am making a HUGE mistake heading down this path.
is it really that bad?

are actuary careers dying out?
