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!
