Sanjeevsir,
Sorry but let me tell you, I havent disagreed in my life to the extent I disagree to your post..
Well, its true there is lot of maths in it... It is true there is no connection between the two... It is also true that it is very tough... considered to be 2 times tougher than ca..
Rest all part, I totally disagree...
First of all, Talking about demand... Actuary is an emergin field in India and with privatisation at full fledge, by the time one finishes actuary if starts today, it'll have humogenous value alongwith ca.
In my opinion, those degrees which are totally unrelated only enhances the value and supplements the other degree.... of course, only if you want to become something big... And who doesnt want to become a known man..
In all Insurance companies and banking companies(yet not in india), all CEO and top level executives are actuaries. And with Risk Management being introduced in the scope of Actuary, the value it will hold is extra-ordinary... And with the CA degree, think what you cant do in this world.
It only enhances your chances to become CEO or top level executive of top company and pays you hefty amount. Of course, it is tough and thats why it pays you also hefty...
Tell me, any one of the degrees, you mentioned above, can make you CEO without the need of 25-30 years of experience... Those degrees are good only to get you some more pay in a job. But even after considering all the degrees together with ca and comparing them with ca and actuary togethr, pay a person get would be 2 times more. Only actuary fresher can earn 60 lakhs. You can check actuaries.org.uk o check the salary an actuary earns.
Sorry if I sounded rude, please dont mind if I sound so... Its just that I disagree heavily,...
