Is anyone on the board an actuary or has anyone on here taken the actuary exams? I have graduated witha BS in math and a minor in economics, and was wondering if this was enough to pursue a career as an actuary. The only problem is that I have never ever taken any stat or probability classes. I am sure that I could study the material that would be covered on the actuary exams, but I was wondering if potential employers want to see it actually listed on a transcript. Would I need to take a course on stat/probability or would it just be ok as long as I could study myself and pass the exams? Also, how hard are the exams? Did it take you multiple times to pass the exams? How long did you study for it? How hard is it to find a job as an actuary? What are some things employers look for on a resume?
