Hi all,
I am starting my actuarial career from net month and I have doubts about the profession. I do not doubt the institute, but I have doubts about the profession.
First is, what are the fields in which actuaries can work? Some people say that they cannot work in finance, investments, energy, risk mgmt, while some say that they can work in such fields? Institute's website says that actuaries can work in these fields!
See for yourself:
https://www.actuaries.org.uk/practice-areas
Secondly, is actuarial science all about predictive modeling, or is it more than that? If it is limited to predictive modeling, then why not expand our scope?
Thirdly, the Institute's website says that actuaries highlights that in finance field, actuaries can work in the job of financial reporting. So can such experience be relevant for CPD?
See for yourself:

Fourth, where do you see actuarial science as a profession in the next 15-20 years?
Thanks a lot for your insights!
Regards,
Shyam
