Hello Everyone,
I'm interested in actuarial programs across the US. I want to ask has someone gone through this after serving in uniform? I've looked at a few programs and they seem pretty much similar across the board (Liberty Mutual, Traveler's Insurance, and etc.). My question if I do decide to pursue this path, whether to go the SOA route or the CAS route? (It appears the CAS is the older society)
I appreciate any direction and guidance. Thank you in advance for reading and answering.
Looking forward for your input.

My brother has passed all 10 of the actuarial exams and had a great career. Needed to be flexible as he also worked as a controller of an insurance company and now works as a consultant for a major CPA firm.
I passed the first exam while in college, but only received a passing grade of a 6. This told me that despite passing, this may not be the career for me and I moved to finance.
The best thing that you can do is start taking (and passing) the exams. That will show employers your interest level and desire. Once you have started, any insurance company would want you. We both went to college in Hartford, CT so it was easy to find insurance companies right in our area.
Good luck
