So I graduated from college last May and got a job in June for 6 months. It was valuing pension schemes. I found it extremely boring although the pay was really good. I was going into work dreading it everyday. The work was very repetitive and involved the use of really basic things like copying and pasting tables into excel and running queries on access.
Being honest, I never really enjoyed my degree in actuarial studies. Some of it was interesting in fairness but my immature self picked actuary mainly for the money. I'm decent at maths but not a maths wizard like so many other people who set out to be actuaries.
I guess i'm wondering is it common to dislike your first job out of college? I feel kind of stuck in limbo between trying out a different job in the actuarial field or heading off to somewhere like Australia for a year to try different work. An advice would be appreciated
