Hi /sci/
I am currently on my masters degree in theoretical physics and will definitely do a PhD, but I am sure I don't want to stay in science.
I thought about becoming an actuary, since it seems one of the few professions where you work with professionals, don't have to put together presentations all the time (like a consultant), have good work- life balance, good pay and (most importantly) get to do math.
Also it seems like a profession that has value for society.
How common is it for physicists to take this career path and are the positive traits I connect with the profession true?
I also have a Bachelors in economics besides the physics one if that helps.
