Hi,

I'm hoping some of you could provide me with information about actuarial and statistics work. I like a diverse range of problems and creative solutions. Other fields I'm interested in are engineering and computing. I like visualization and am interested in using computation to model real phenomena. I have a broad range of interests and I like a trans-disciplinary and creative approach to problem solving.

I've yet to enter college.

Cheers and thanks for the help :)
