Thanks for correcting me about that qualified actuaries figure... I might have had a bit old information considering that my friend's brother just recently qualified as an Actuary as well...
By saying that after completing 3/4th of the whole Actuary course, one can find a reasonably good job... I meant that usually people don't manage to become an Actuary, yet they find suitable jobs... Certainly one's aim should be to become an Actuary rather than go for money (which obviously one would get after qualifying)..
Because I've seen some people drop out of Actuarial Sciences after completing nearly three quarters of it, and then going for MBA or CFA and landing on some very good jobs... That might also be because they previously had good experience with some insurance firms.
