Hello everyone,
Little back story, so when I began college as a freshman I thought I wanted to become a doctor. My sister already being in med school it seemed like a challenging and rewarding career which could ultimately make me a lot of money.
However speaking with my physics teacher, and other doctors, I found out that becoming a doctor goes against everything I want to achieve in life. Cant have a lot of free time/ exciting social life, the stress level is off the charts, and I feel like you won't really enjoy life unless you are in love with medicine.
Speaking with my physics teacher he kind of persuaded me to move into the field of engineering, even though I am already an engineering major with great grades, and such.
However I want a career where the stress level is not insane, and I can still have a lot of free time to travel, and make decent money without burning out.
So I have been looking into actuaries, and seems like a sure fit, but I want to hear first hand from any of you who are/know about actuaries what the lifestyle is like/ stress rate.
Thanks
