#fall25 Hi, I'm hoping to became an actuary and planning on majoring in Mathematics! During college, I'm hoping to pass several actuarial exams. For those already working in the field, what does a typical day look like for you? How do you balance work, problem-solving, and collab? Additionally, how rigorous and difficult are the actuarial exams really, in terms of time needed and content-wise? I would love advice for preparing successfully to become an actuary!

I'm a current senior in high school and figuring out my path to college and beyond :)
