Hi
I'm working towards a career change from financial selling (pensions, investments etc) to actuary. I'm working through CT1 & 7 and the moment, CT7 is pretty straightforward for me as it's similar to a lot of stuff I've done in the past.
I was struggling with a couple of things on CT1 which I managed to sort out with an actuary who works for the bank I work in now, she then told me not to worry about it because I'd hardly ever use any of the maths in the day to day work ! (I couldn't ask her too much as I don't wnat anyone in my dept to find out that I want to leave)
Is this true ? the written side of th exams will be my strongest point, but I'm enjoying the maths as it's real stretch for me, be a bit dissapointed if never get to use it.
