Unsure what to do. Could use some advice.
I'm a freshmen at a non-target school majoring in Actuarial Science with a 3.6 GPA. I am taking Exam FM this June, and will be interning at a finical solutions company this summer. The thing is im not sure what I exactly want to do. I like the idea of being an actuary. The profession has good hours, provides a stable career, and I will always have a job, but the sheer number of exams is a bummer. Because of this I am now looking at investment banking as an option, but it seems it would be difficult to break into at my current school. For me investment banking seems to be an extremely rewarding career that will open many doors, but its way more risky and if I fuck up then im screwed. Can you give me some advice given my position. Maybe try to steer my in a certain direction. If I do choose to pursue investment banking what should I do about schooling and whatnot?
Thanks
Accounting. Less exams than actuary. More security than finance.
I think you need to spend time asking yourself: 1) What do I want? Happiness? Stability? Money? 2) How risk averse are you? 3) What are your strengths and weaknesses? 4) How can you leverage what you have to get what you want? 5) If you don't get what you want, what is plan B (alternative)? 6) And what is plan Z (worst case: i.e. move in with your parents)?

Become an actuary, I've seen too many friends and colleagues get chewed up by this industry.
