    I like how the few videos there are on UA-cam made by people practicing actuarial roles are professional and simplistic. That’s how you know you’ll be working with professional and intelligent individuals.

    It's great to see videos like this, there's so few actuarial content creators I can find. I'm starting an actuary Internship in life insurance and this makes me feel more comfortable with it.

    This is so inspiring for me! I am currently striving to become an actuary and trying to understand what it is really like working as one. Seeing a black woman in this field feels like looking at a future me and it gives me so much hope that I can achieve the same. Thank you for such an insightful video 🩷

    As someone who just started working towards pursuing an actuarial science degree after being out is school for some years now, this vid was a good find. Really insightful stuff. Combine that with my guess you’re a fellow Jamaican, I’m subbing for more of this content. Lol

      Generally yes - I know one person that got a job without a degree but he's "exceptional" i.e. taught himself how to code, taught himself the material to pass actuarial exams etc.
