 | I am not trying to be lazy but after driving for 200 hours, I find myself a dangerous driver. I can usually focus on one situation, but in driving two to three happen at the same time. Also the more I talk to people, I tend to forget more things. I do have a journal but I need to find a lifetime job where I interact less with people but something that has prestige. I am a cashier for five years and my verdict is that I really perform better when I am alone.

| I am on track to graduate university this year with a BSc with honours in economics. I wasn't able to take a probability theory course that would have been beneficial for the first actuarial exam, and I'm wondering if I should enroll in an actuarial science program or just try to study for the exams on my own. I know economics is somewhat related but I don't feel like I'm all that prepared for the exams. Also, I don't know how learning on my own will go. Any actuaries have any advice?

I really do not want to spend the hefty price tag for a degree if I can just self study. What would you recommend though?

| I have an associates in Business Administrations and soon I want to go for a bachelors. What would be my field of study here? I was looking this on wikipedia and thought it would be perfect for me since Statistics and finance are my two biggest strengths. It just really did not say what you should study though.... Statistics? Finance?

I've heard opinions that it might make you unemployable, even with internship experience, but several people have said that it doesn't. Thoughts?
