You know what I hate about being an actuary?
Exams, yes...
But today I am talking about benefit calculations. They are usually pretty basic calculations that a high school student could do, but they can take forever because you have to double & triple check stuff since it has to be exact. You have to check the rounding and all that jazz. (I prefer big challenging calculations where you can have a margin of error, apparently.) And the client is always bugging you to get them back quickly. Ugh!
The only good thing about them is when the people have funny names. Right now I am working on a calc for someone named Shawn-Ta. Very phoenetic spelling!
