Actuary Jobs Are For The Obsessive-compulsive Types

Actuary Jobs Are For The Obsessive-compulsive Types

When I think of actuarial jobs, my first thought reflects on that night I watched the Ben Stiller movie, long Came Polly.?Ben Stiller was this analytical,
anal-retentive type of personality, always calculating the risks for everything. One of the climactic,mbt zum Verkauf, highlight scenes from the film is when he takes a pair of scissors to all his throw pillows. He calculated how much time he was wasting with throw pillows every day,Christian Louboutin Pas Cher, and realized he didn want to waste another second worrying about taking down or placing his throw pillows each night and morning. So he and Jennifer Aniston have at it and destroy his throw pillows with all reckless abandon. Great scene!

Actuary jobs seem to be the perfect fit for those who calculate every risk. They work best for those who are excellent in mathematics and science, and for people who love to study human statistics. There are actuary jobs in science and math, and most pertain to the finance and insurance industries. It the opposite end of the spectrum from where I stand and what I good at. I personally would never fit the bill for an actuarial job -- I have a hard enough time managing the numbers in my own budget, let alone calculating financial and insurance risks. Most guys looking for an actuary job are human calculators who have mathematical equations, circling their brains at all times. Whereas guys like me simply jump into the deep end every chance we get and figure out how to swim once wee in the water.

People in this industry might not be the most adventurous type. It hard to be adventurous when you always see the risks in front of you and know just how much of a risk youe really taking. Part of the fun of taking risks is leaving it all up to chance. People jump out of airplanes because they want a thrill and don want to think about logistics or the statistics of how many parachutes fail. Nobody wants to be constantly reminded of all the failed parachutes and the possibilities of not making it out of this experience alive. They simply want to throw all cautions to the wind and let the cards fall where they may. People in the actuarial industry might have a hard time ignoring the risks theye undertaking with each adventure they embark on. This can be quite annoying to their friends and family. How would you like to get all excited to go on some great rock climbing escapade or venture off to explore a mountain, only to hear the constant reminder from your worrying friend, who calculating just how risky it is, and the odds you might not come back in one piece. It kind of deflates the moment, right?

However, there might be people in this business who vent out all the calculations and analyses through their tedious finance or insurance job so they can join the rest of the world in all our wild and crazy adventures. Maybe by having an actuarial job,mbt schuhe, they fulfill that need to over-analyze everything, so when they come home, they leave that obsessive-compulsive nature behind them. It would take great effort and determination on their part to get to that point, but it one of those life-changing, paradigm-shifting moments, when they decide to stop analyzing everything else in their lives and leave some things up to chance.

That pretty much what long Came Polly?was about. Ben Still finally realized some things were meant to be uncalculated and risky. Love,christian louboutin france, for example, is never something you can analyze and calculate your way into. Although you might reason,mbt schuhe, that if you calculate the odds of finding the perfect match, after youe already found her, it might help you realize just how special that person is and why you need to do everything possible to keep her. That a calculation we should all make in our lives. Once we find that special someone, we should realize the odds of finding someone so perfect for us, out of the billions of people on the planet. For some of us older,christian louboutin soldes, single people, we feel like the odds are impossible.

All the same, it quite rare to find someone in this field, who spends his nights and weekends seeking crazy adventures and pursuing those excursions with all reckless abandon. Actuarial jobs are for people who know nothing about eckless abandon.?Theye for people who get up at the exact same time every morning, count brush strokes when they brush their teeth, and follow the same exact routine as yesterday in their daily rituals. They don change it up. They never just up and leave spontaneously. There very little spontaneity in their lives, and they like to keep it that way. So when something new and unusual does come up, theye slow to adapt to the new situation.

It always fun to play with these types of people. For example, if you hide one of their slippers and replace it with a lady slipper, or you move their toothbrush to a different bathroom, or if you find other little ways to mess with their daily routine -- it always fun to watch them get upset. It might not be the best way to win over your new roommate or neighbor, but there some kind of satisfaction in watching them look at their toothbrush holder or odd slipper,mbt schuhe günstig, in a dazed stare, not sure what to do with themselves.

I guess I shouldn make fun of these people, but it hard not to. All the same, if you feel you fit this mold, actuarial jobs might be what youe looking for. Just be prepared for people like me, whol come and hassle you over all the little things you do. Related articles:
