Just read in this month's UK magazine the actuary, that Milton Friedman had wanted to be an actuary but gave up due to his failing of the exams. More can be read on this here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zoso Jade (talk • contribs) 10:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
I was just trying to think of whether this could have a place in the article but I can't quite think of how it would fit in... it fits in much easier to the Friedman article...--Zoso Jade 22:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- So place it there :) -- Avi 03:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Continuing Education
Sorry if this not the right place for this, but... Under "United States" the article says "Continuing education is required after certification for all actuaries." This is not true. There are many actuarial functions for which one needs continuing education, and under the American Academy of Actuaries' Standards of Practice, one is not to perform functions for which he or she does not have the necessary expertise. But generally speaking, there is no continuing ed requirement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.165.201.47 (talk) 19:07, February 23, 2007
- You're right. The Academy's Qualification Standards require continuing education only for some actuaries. I don't know anything about (a) the CAS or (b) ASPPA, but (c) the SoA doesn't have any CE requirement, (d) the CCA requires CE of its members, and (e) Enrolled Actuaries are subject to CE requirements.
- I'll edit the article to modify or remove the sentence. — Malik Shabazz | Talk 18:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
