So you want to be an Actuary?

Here's a 5 point summary on Actuarial recruitment (2011-2020):

1. The insurance industry is facing a more stringent regulatory and supervisory environment. Technology is also changing the way clients consume products, the types of products they demand, and -- crucially – the way insurers design and price products, target clients, and manage risk.
2. There's more supply of workers than demand, making entry-level positions highly competitive.
3. Largest employment growth is in Healthcare (a result of Obamacare). Least growth in Pensions (defined benefit plans are going extinct!)
4. There's Increasing demand of a broader (non-actuarial) skill set. Although Predictive Modeling is the most needed. There is also a significant skill gap in this area.
5. There's a shortage of career development opportunities in the field.
