<br />Salaam everyone.
I have got a little confusion. Can anyone resolve this issue. As I am inclined in doing actuary, soa. Had passed my graduation, B.Com. Just wanna ask what masters field should I take on parallel to the actuary. I wanna go towards the finace and inventment side, with actuary also (not towards the insurance side). There are two options. Firstly to do MA. in economics. Secondly to do MBA (finance). What would be better in your opinion.
If there are any other fields to take on parallel to actuary in your view, please do mention it. And there scope.

I think both should be OK. A friend of mine did MSc. in Economics before embarking his professional actuarial career and he is doing a good job now, both at work and exams. On the other hand, there would be significant overlapping of finance courses if you were to do MBA (Finance) so it might be a good idea to do MBA (Finance).
In either case, the only way to get a good job would be to clear as quickly as possible those SOA exams.
Let me know what you think?
