| I finished at age 33, but did not start until age 28. I know several FSA's for whom actuarial work is their second career. These people bring valuable perspective to our profession.
In his article entitled "How old is too old" in the January newsletter, Mr. Panjer suggested that we start a discussion on the topic of travel time to obtaining the professional qualification (i.e., FSA). In summary, he observed that the average age of new Fellows is about 33, and as a result we are in danger of losing candidates with strong quantitative skills to other professions - financial engineers and risk managers with CFA designations and MBA's that take less time to obtain. Why would college grads choose our profession when these other professions compensate equally, if not better, than FSA's?
