actuary career?
I am going to be a senior in high school and am looking at becoming an actuary so I have a few questions. What college offering an actuarial science degree has the best career services center? I currently live in the midwest but would like to move to the east coast for a job after college. I have heard that actuaries are in high demand and some big companies give options of cities or regions you would like to work. Also, some will pay relocation fees. So, what colleges are the best at bringing lots of recruiters to campus? Please don't just post this link (http://actuary.com/actuarial-science-schools/) and assume you are helping. I want to know which of these has the best career services.

- The colleges that are the best at bringing recruiters to campus are the most prestigious ones- Ivy League, Georgetown, Cal Tech, MIT, U Va, etc. Get a bachelor's degree in math and think about a minor in computer science. It's at the masters level that you should get a degree in actuarial science as the recruiters go to campus looking for the math majors in the best math programs. Talk to MIT in particular about which recruiters come to their campus. Given that insurance companies are often based in Hartford, CT, I am sure MIT and other schools in New England are prime destinations, even if you may be able to work elsewhere. You are right in saying that there is a huge demand for actuaries. Target insurance firms for internships. Good luck..
