text: can anyone tell me career prospects for actuarial science in future and also course details?   i think the demand is excellent for actuaries who are passing the exams at a reasonable rate.  many people think prospects are best in property-casualty, ok in life and health, but poor in pensions.  not everyone is good in math and wants to take nine difficult math exams for the next five to ten years after college though.  a good web site with advice for actuarial students is http://users.aol.com/fcas/advice.html
