... do you want to be in the future?

So what are your preferred courses for tertiary studies?

Melbourne is the only university in Melbourne that has an actuarial program. So yeah :P.

There's a fair bit of maths in actuarial, it's sort of like an application of maths. I've said this before, but I'm going to try to attend maths lectures (that I'm not registered to). I've only become interested in maths about 1.5 years ago, before that I was a computer scientist ^^

Do you guys learn anything in your spare time?

Maths, but not to the level you do. more picking up a random 3/4 textbook every now and again, taking a look and doing a few questions from a chapter review

My dream:

Praveen, BCom (Hons) Majoring in Actuarial Studies. FIAA.

Actuarial studies FTW!


Basically, as I heard a professor say in the Actuarial Info session in open day: Actuarial studies is basically the application of probability and higher financial mathematics.

For example, you do Contigencies, Modelling, Fin Math 1,2,3  and advanced Fin math 1,2, prob, math [a] advanced, scientific computer simulations, alot of programming, and not to be forgotten.. good ole calculus! :)

2009 - BBus (Econometrics/Economics&Fin) @ Monash

Well here's something different I'm hoping to get into teaching :)
Bachelor of Education at either ACU or VU
If not then possibly a Bachelor of Business at Swinburne :)

Hmm...

I wanted to become an architect then I changed my mind.
I wanted to become an optometrist then I changed my mind.
I wanted to become a physicist then I changed my mind.
I wanted to become an aerospace engineer then I changed my mind.

I wanted to become something. Then I died.  :P

Either Bachelor of Arts, Arts/Law, or Bachelor of Philosophy (Arts) at ANU.
Ultimately, I think I want to be either an academic or a writer (or both).
