My hero
 
I work in TV / Internet engineering for a big company. I travel a lot since I somehow got promoted a few times over the years.

But, I want to be hired full-time by a company as interesting as the one Kevin shows above. I do some of those activities on Saturday or Sunday , but how cool would it be to do it Monday through Friday!

My daughter is applying this January for an internship at a local actuarial company (or a company who employs them). We are hopeful she likes it and think she will. She likes to be secluded and she likes working on numbers :).

My ex-employer actually got me my current position. :mad:

It's a tough, seven-day-per-week job, but my new boss doesn't mind all that much when I tell her I need time off to play golf!

Typically Actuaries work at Insurance companies, or consulting firms that specialize in Actuarial work (pension, healthcare, property/casualty).

I'd encourage her to work on the interpersonal, group work, and social skill sets. She may not need the "practice" and just prefers to work solo......however, the computational element of what actuaries do is less and less material to the role. Machines compute the answer (used to need actuaries for that), so the differentiator is, for example, articulating a complex calculation simply to a layperson.

Just my $0.02 - no change required!

Pretty cool seeing the different paths each of us are on. I currently work for a large fleet management company. Locate, negotiate and ensure service providers meet legal requirements nationally, and internationally, that can primarily perform onsite preventive maintenance and emergency repairs for diesel/gas vehicles, forklifts, cranes, trailers and associated. Locate in shop providers as well. Been in the sourcing field since I left the Navy in '95.

I believe the thing that we all have in common is that we were all kids once. We loved baseball and we loved collecting baseball cards.
Even though I don't watch baseball now I still love baseball cards.

I'm a corporate bankruptcy/restructuring attorney (chlankf, if you ever need new counsel, or counsel in NY/NJ, shoot me a message!). I'm not surprised to see several other attorneys among the board's members, but the range of careers and backgrounds represented here is really amazing.

I found this board after many years away from the hobby as I was hatching a plan to put together a set of playing career-era cards of each of the first five HOFers, something I could only have dreamed of doing as a kid. I don't know how often I'll post, but I love reading the discussions here and learning about the old sets and everyone else's collections.

Man that's an interesting job... I dabble in distressed investing and spend a lot of time researching bank debt, even though someone like me could never get my hands on it lol. Fascinating stuff though.

Another awesome job. Thought about going for the CTP designation but don't know if I'd ever be in a position to use it and questioned if it even really matters. You definitely wound up in an interesting law career though!

Was a teacher/coach for a while. Spent 20 years as a high school principal. Served 24 years in the Navy and Naval Reserve.

Now fully retired and pick and choose which card shows to set up at. I try to limit myself to 200 miles other than the Fanatics shows and the National.
