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 .

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!

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.

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!

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.
