I think I did a great job of socializing him then cheesy. He's been around other dogs and animals and he's never displayed any aggression, only the usual doggy playfulness.

I'm so laughing now, mine is exactly same too. Extremely playful, loves food and would die to just sit by my side. Never displayed any iota of aggression to anyone before.

Career / Re: Advice On Being An Actuary by Yababoy(m): 8:51am On Oct 17, 2014
mayo47:

The truth is that presently in Nigeria an actuarial career is confined mostly to the insurance sector & maybe the PFAs. In essence, that the reason I brought up the insurance job idea.
The demand for actuary is not there as Nigeria just has a small number of actuary which makes the ROI maybe questionable but would be great to acquire for the future as the insurance sector especially is experiencing reforms.
The MSc Actuarial Science in the UK is actually great as it may land you a job in UK where actuary is more value and the ROI very good.
ROI-Returns on investment
I do not totally agree with you. There are also Actuarial Consulting firms (though very few) that are always on the lookout for good Actuarial students in Nigeria to employ. I will also tell u from my personal experience that the demand is there, remember the supply is very very low in Nigeria, so the few ones are very highly demanded. With the reforms, the demand will only go higher and I'm sure u can infer what that means for the few professionals now.
As per the MSc in Actuarial Science in the UK, I'm sorry to tell u that ur chances of getting a job in the UK after the MSc is about 1% as the visa rules have changed. Companies will be willing to employ u but they would be limited by the visa rules. However, u have the option of moving to Canada, USA or Australia afterwards.
My final word is that the MSc will give u a headstart in the Exams because of the exemptions, if u decide to look for work experience in other countries its fine and if u also decide to come back to Nigeria to work a bit u will also not regret it. I am speaking from very personal experience.

It's either you are writing the UK (IFOA), USA (SOA) or Canada (CAS) exams. These are the popular ones. Each of these bodies have the qualifications they award. The awards you listed are granted by the SOA. You would first need to choose which of the exams you want to write and in what order. I actually tried to simplify things for you by guiding you on the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries exam track and by providing the link to their website where you can get all the information you need.
I hope this is helpful.
Career / Re: A Strategic Career Move - Which Would You Take? by Yababoy(m): 8:59am On Oct 15, 2014
Also remember that when you work for too long the zeal to improve yourself drops and you'll just continue marking time in the rat race.
Career / Re: A Strategic Career Move - Which Would You Take? by Yababoy(m): 8:57am On Oct 15, 2014
The first point is that you have some few years experience, so no one would actually say you're an entire greenhorn, so that's an advantage for you. Secondly, I have seen this happen to several people, it's always better you add so much value to yourself. In the short time it might look like its not adding to the bottom-line but I tell you it would stand you out some day. You might not get the increase and promotion you so desire in that job in 3 years, meanwhile you could have used the same 3 years to add so much value to yourself that one year after you can get a job paying twice what you are earning now and not willing to let go of. Also, even if you don't earn twice that money after your Phd, the value is there. Someday, somehow, it would count for you.
Career / Re: Advice On Being An Actuary by Yababoy(m): 8:49am On Oct 15, 2014
It's very feasible and means you'll have to follow my first option. Register for the exams, start with the courses you are familiar with and you'll be fine. Your mathematical background puts you at a high advantage.
Career / Re: A Strategic Career Move - Which Would You Take? by Yababoy(m): 8:29am On Oct 15, 2014
Nice one and simple, I'll go for the Doctoral position. It's a better investment of my time and for my future. Going by what you've just painted, I don't see much prospects in the current job except some marginal increase in salary sometimes later. By the way, 3 years experience is not yet much and really wouldn't give you that much leverage yet even in the industry you are currently working in.
Career / Re: Advice On Being An Actuary by Yababoy(m): 8:23am On Oct 15, 2014
Onyiclara:

My issue now is what's the next step seeing as I didn't do actuarial science. Am I to write an exam or just start looking for jobs in actuary firms? What do I do next?
So I'm sure you must have done a bit of desktop research on what it entails to qualify as an Actuary; the time, money and sacrifices. If you are truly passionate about pursuing an Actuarial career then register for the exams. Since you have a strong mathematical background, you could start with the Probability& Statistics exam, Financial mathematics and Economics. This should not be too difficult for you and will give you the confidence to prepare for the other papers in the CT series. Alternatively, if you have the cash you could pursue an MSc in Actuarial Science from one of the Institute's accredited school in the UK. If you perform well on the Master's program in any of these schools you stand to gain exemptions in at most 8 papers at the CT levels.
With some papers passed, it wouldn't be difficult to get an Actuarial role in an Insurance company or an Actuarial Consulting firm in Nigeria.
@Mayo: Her plan is to pursue an Actuarial career not to get an Insurance job, so I don't quite agree with your advice on taking the CII exams. Actuarial job isn't restricted to the Insurance industry.

Hello..can't really see d certificates showing that dey are Dogo Argentinos. Meanwhile I used to think Dogos were taller from my research. They seriously look like my pitbull in all respect except that mine is Brindle. I might be wrong o, so I stand to be corrected.

It would help if u state what ull like to know about the field. However, u can go to http://www.actuaries.org.uk/ for more information. If u have particular questions about the field that you couldn't find answers to, just post it here and I'll see if I can help.

The one on the left looks more like a Pitbull to me, but the one on the right has more Boxer traits.
