Granny Danger Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Quick question - can someone describe to me what an actuary is? It's something to do with determining what the premiums should be for life insurance purposes based upon life expectancy. Sort of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Capsule Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 What I've gathered is that basically they assess risk on things. So kind of like a bookie in taking odds, but they can do it on things like pensions, insurance, building property etc. Correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right, I've never heard of a poor bookie nor an actuary, so if it's a profession you are looking at joining, go for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well almost fully qualified) There's all sorts of things to do with risk assessment, including to do with life insurance, investment strategy, pensions, general insurance, etc. Plenty other stuff involved as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you can sum up with an actuary does in a sentance or paragraph and tell me anything interesting about the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries? Good luck with the rest of your qualifications! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 What is this 'NAP' patter all about? What doed it mean!? Not A Problem Does anyone remember an incident at The Dell where there was an effort on goal that crossed the line and struck the advertising boards behind the goals and rebounded out but the goal wasn't awarded? Trying to settle a debate here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1207101/The-goals-Sportsmails-time-favourite-Phantom-goals.html It's the 4th one down.

Good luck with the rest of your qualifications! It's actually quite difficult to sum up! There's all sorts of different things that can be done - I spend my days working with investment strategies to ensure that people get paid the money that they've been promised but other people work directly with companies that provide pension schemes to their employees. It's also apparently the best job in the world! http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/23/is-being-a-newspaper-reporter-really-the-worst-job-in-the-world-3663649/ And I'm just waiting on the result of my final exam, in July I find out whether I qualify or have to resit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattydfc Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I'm an idiot and bought a Laptop without a dvd drive, so I can't install all my old football manager games, is there any sort of external things that'd let me install and play these games... I googled it and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it. Cheers in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 So that'd let me install my games and watch dvd's? I should have stuck in at school. Yeah it plugs into the USB port and works the same way a regular DVD drive would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
