Hi
I have been working in the IT industry for 8 years as a Java/J2EE programmer. My strong desire to move away from IT and follow suit in mathematics prompted me to pursue a degree in Actuarial Studies. Finally, my dream of becoming an actuary came true. Even though I am leaving the IT field, the actuarial role still needs good technical skills as it involves data manipulation for modelling. My technical skills were a key in securing the job and I am glad they won�t be wasted.
I will still visit Javaranch site to from time to time to check on updates in Java/J2EE field.
