What do you do for a living?

Welcome to the club! That's you, me and Keith so far...

Are you an actuary? I wanted to be an actuary when I was 15.

Q: How do you identify an extrovert actuary?

A: He's the one that looks at the other person's shoes when he's talking to them!

I'd keep that to yourself if I was you Emma - I had such a high opinion of you previously...

God no. (Sometimes I wish I were - I'd make a lot more money) I just do actuarial type stuff. See, I've got all the lingo.

Why on earth would any 15 year old even know what an actuary is, let alone want to be one. Most actuaries I've met don't want to be actuaries...

 

[cornflakegirl]

Erm... that was as far as I read in the careers book?

I have a soft spot for actuaries - I dated one for several years. He was lovely, so were his colleagues. I really don't get why they have such a bad press!

Q: What do Actuaries use for contraception?

A: Their personalities.


(Sorry Keith!)

Odd jobs (including Excel) in a public accountancy practice.

Hi Luke,

why do you say that ? Presently you are doing a wonderful job educating other people across the globe in terms of teaching Excel to the world - free of cost. Now, thats what you call as an achievement ! It provides you with job satisfaction and it is what matters the most

But the question was "What do you do for a living?" As you rightly pointed out, posting on MrExcel does not pay highly.

Sorry.

Please ignore - did not read the comment by Peter in a proper manner. "Haste makes Waste" - its true !
