I decided on a career change in 2013 with the intention of studying part time to become an actuary. I work full time in an unrelated industry. After a year of intense study that almost killed me, I managed to pass the first exam. But realistically, I’m looking at another five years of similar graft with progressively harder exams and I’m really not sure I have the skill or the stamina to become fully qualified. I need to decide whether to press on with the second exam course or quit before I waste more time and energy. What do you suggest I do?
