In Reply To: I graduated in May 2000 with a double major in Finance and Actuarial Science and have been working at a big 5 firm as an actuarial consultant. I really enjoy the consulting environment, but just cannot get excited about life insurance. I think that if I was working with clients involved in financial services, consumer products or technology, I would be much happier. I've thought about Marketing Research, as they need people with strong mathematical backgrounds. Or strategic consulting, which is basically what I do now, but I wouldn't be stuck in the life insurance industury. I think I'd want something that is a little more innovative, an environment that is younger and more creative. Does anyone have any advice to help me decide what areas I would have a chance in getting in to?
