Actuary is considered to be “the dark side” of mathematics.
They deal in the dark art of estimating people's lifespan.
They make the odds for insurance companies for their decisions on every coverage they offer and how much to charge for that coverage.
Insurance companies are basically gambling operations. Actuaries make the odds and, as you know, the house always wins.
They don't all do that. They work on Pension funds. They work in re-insurance. They make a hell of lot more than you or I.
