[prashantsherawat]

I am pursuing economics undergrad and dont plan on becoming a full time actuary. but would clearing 1 or 2 papers help me stand out in finance or data science oriented jobs? Also are the beginning exams too hard to be studied for during part time, I suppose I could do it since some of my course should align with their syllabus

[KBSINN]

Great presentation and if I may add in short only pursue this path if you belong to the antisocial social club.
