I'm really eager to make a switch to the actuarial profession (preferably in the investments sector). I've looked through some text books, talked to some actuaries & I really love the work involved. It all looks very stimulating and quite rewarding.
The good (possibly):
MSc in Finance (1st class pass - Uni. of Strathclyde)
ACCA Qualification (4 fails out of 14 attempts)
Bachelor of Commerce in Statistics (3rd class pass - University of Cape Town)
The bad:
1. No work experience (nothing. zilch.
)
2. I'm a recent international graduate student so I'd need a Work Permit
3. I'm not eligible for any exemptions (apart from ST0) and I'm still studying for my 1st sitting (CT1,2 & 3)
4. 26yrs old...still young but not exactly that 'fresh'.
So can I do it? What really concerns me is my inconsistent academic record & the fact that I'm a foreigner.
Thanks for reading
