How much do you earn?

Very random and personal but I got offered a new job and I don't know if I should take it.

They offering me R22000 (roughly 2200 pounds God that sounds low ) Its a very decent salary in South Africa though. Its slightly more than I get right now but not by very much. So guys should I take it?

What's the average salaries wherever in the world you are?

(Context I am in Actuarial Services for the largest Insurance company in SA, I just graduated last year though so low on experience)

I mean it is frankly hard. Heavy work load, difficult concepts and exams are set to make you fail. The thing about becoming an Actuary is that it is very elitist so every step of the way they want you to fail and drop out.

Stats is not monotonous it will rear its ugly head and bite you in the ass! I'm not trying to scare you its the honest truth. If you are smart and above all DEDICATED then do it. If you are like me and was drunk for half of 2nd year you will fail.

The moral of the story? Stay drunk the whole year and you'll be fine.

How the hell did we pretend to work before the intertubes?
I'm sure I used to work a lot harder years ago, in fact, I know I did.
