to study actuarial studies at UNSW or macquarie? (1 Viewer)

[fantasia]

i'm deliberating over whether i should do actuarial studies at macquarie or UNSW.. is it better at macquarie(since thats where the majority of actuaries graduate)

hmm also.. what's it like being an actuary? i know there's stress and alot of hard work.. but does it get boring? Because i dont want a career that will be boring me for 40-50 years.

1. Macq or UNSW: Use the search option, there are at least 10 threads which repeat everyones' arguments.

2. Is it boring: Depends on the individual. It's like saying, do you like hot summer days or cool summer days.

how much do you get paid really? i heard there's two types of actuaries.. consultants and something else.

i was told average income is 300 000 a year.

Pay varies depending on qualification as an actuary and experience. An average of 300 000 per year is an exaggeration, however. Half of that would be reasonable after 3-4 years of work?
