Hi all,
I have been working as a trainee in a small Life office for almost a year. I enjoy the work but I don`t really want to spend my life working for somebody else!
My ultimate ambition is to have a very small company of my own or perhaps be self employed. Does anybody have any advice on how to achieve my lofty ambitions.
I`ve heard that some actuaries can work from home 2-3 days a week but I`ve never encountered this first hand. I also thought that certain areas of actuarial expertise may lend themselves to small consultancies, e.g. expert witness work. Really I`m afraid of eventually passing the exams and being confined to working for large city companies for the rest of my days!
Any info/advice would be hugely appreciated.
