look at dw Simpson salary survey to get an idea. The upside is good if you are a fellow. I'll probably make $300k or so for the last 15 years of my career.

Just go on the SOA site. They have tons of sample questions. Be aware that it will probably take 3+ exams to get an entry level job. It's pretty competitive

so that's certainly an unusual background and a lot of retard HR drones will trash your resume instantly. i would go to the actuary directory and see if you can send your resume directly to hiring actuaries at different companies. there is information on actuarialoutpost on how to approach this. i think there are certainly actuaries who would hire someone with that background. a lot of the entry level candidates out there are technically competent, but have SPS communication skills. if you can sell yourself as being different than those candidates, i think you'll have a chance.

i should note that some markets are better than others, and companies often recruit almost exclusively locally. if you live in Hartford or something, i have little doubt you can find an entry level job some place. it's more challenging on the west coast.

i don't know what your current employment situation is, but you might also want to think about finding a related job (something involving data manipulation/analysis) and then applying.

that's fortunate i guess. just look for something where you use SQL or one of the major statistics packages (R/SAS). if it's at an insurance company, even better. try to pass 3 exams in a year and then start spamming resumes everywhere.

tyft. Planning on taking an actuary math class at my school (local cheap public university) next semester to get a feel for it. Am starting to wonder if the MSCS is a waste of time if I can just get into an actuary job sooner after taking a few upper level probability/stats/finance courses

It's weird. It seems like it's very common in some fields (health insurance) and not in others (pensions). Probably going to very common going forward.

I would try to go into P&C if I had to do it all over again. Not auto because that's boring, but something involving reinsurance or catastrophic risks.

Lol @ coasting as a cpa. Most of that field is being automated or outsourced to India. The future lies in specialization and consulting. Even so, if you are a tax guy and want to make any money, you will work insane hours during busy season which with extensions ends up being half the year.

i only vaguely know what other actuaries do, but at least in my case i don't see it happening. the assistant level data work could probably be automated more than it is.
