There's a fair number of accountants/trainee accountants on here, which I didn't expect. I nearly went down that route, did a year of CIMA but found it completely lacking in numbers which was the bit that interested me.
That's management accountancy for you! |

Full title of your thesis? I'm not being funny, I'm just interested in what your original research was on.
Prediction of Fracture Toughness, Stress-Corrosion Cracking Thresholds, and Corrosion Fatigue Thresholds in Iron-Base Materials. Just realized my Avatar is about fracture in iron and steel, that's scary. |

Perhaps we should change the title of the forum to "65% graduates, 80% Bollocks" ?

And an actuary (I think I'm the only one). I did a masters in mathematics though |

I thought about doing an actuary course instead of going to university. The person who told me about it was one of the scariest people i've ever met though, and i chose against it.

did you become an actuary because you found accountancy to exciting?

My idea of higher education was having to walk up stairs to get to a lesson.

I got my courses mixed up, I never even came close to doing CIMA, I did ACCA. I'd probably have stuck with CIMA a little longer, although either would eventually have seen me bail out in boredom. Not that I'm knocking accountancy, just that it never ended up being what I;d expected.
