What did you leave the field for? What do you do now and are you happier since leaving?
- amigocontigo 8y agoI left for software development and am now working on a PhD in CS. It was the best choice I ever made. Being an actuary was a valuable experience though, mainly because I learned money really does not make you happy (as long as you have enough to live comfortably) and I won't be happy in a job where I do not feel challenged mentally. I also got really good at self-study, which has turned out to be an incredibly valuable skill.
- sizzle 8y ago"money really doesn't make you happy" I've come to this conclusion as well after losing a loved one, helping others makes me truly happy. Good luck in your future endeavors.
