I have a degree in actuarial science and always planned to become an actuary (only because of the salary). I graduated last year and couldn’t get an actuarial role but I landed in a claims adjuster role in financial lines now making $85k. I think I got incredibly lucky to even get my foot into this role with no law degree and I find the job itself quite interesting and I’m very happy with my day to day. The plan initially was to get my foot in and maybe transition around but now it’s looking like I want to keep pursuing a career in claims. However, I think actuaries have a higher ceiling when it comes to pay but I do enjoy my job in claims and the pay isn’t too shabby. Is it worth studying for the next 10 years to potentially have a higher salary in the long run ?
