CAREERS

About two-thirds of all actuaries work for life, health, and property/casualty insurance companies. Actuarial responsibilities in these fields generally include making sure that one's company properly defines and carefully evaluates the insurance risk, charges a fair price to assume the risk and has an efficient system to pay claims and expenses as they occur while operating profitably as a business.

The actuarial profession is consistently ranked among the top jobs. But, what is an actuary?
