nice meme there.

finance makes you a jew tool
econ teaches you how to think and look at the world.
if you are smart, econ is a better choice.
I'm taking finance as well and compared to those tools that are only in finance, I am a genius.

it's still true what you said. finance is better if you want a job and you are average.
but if you are smart, in the long-run, econ is better. that's my point of view.

If you are third year and do not already have an actuarial internship lined up for this summer, you won't be getting an entry-level actuarial job when you graduate. This is true in the U.S., at least. Better plan on CFA.

Actuarial is probably going to be a difficult career path if you aren't a math major.

While the raw curriculum for the earlier exams is pretty manageable the level of mathematical problem solving skills you need to pass even the preliminary 2 is not common outside of math/stats majors. And it gets quite a bit harder as you progress.
