Then why did you choose the second one
如果你数学很好的话不用特地读精算的吧。没有绿卡工作也挺好找的。精算有很多门科目要考，但一般公司都不会要求你全考出来才去工作，他们会出钱让你考的。当然你如果已经通过一两门的话找到工作的机率会更大些。我认识几个master学数学的朋友现在都在做这个。难是肯定难的，否则人人都去做了不是？但以你的基础应该可以handle.我学数学的朋友说做精算是他能找的最简单的工作了。
统计的话如果会SAS工作应该也很好找。问题是master的统计出来大多就是做programming。工资不会太高，也没什么挑战性。要我选的话精算比统计好。一来门槛高一些能够做的人少竞争相对少一些，二来能够把那些课都考出来工资非常高。MM是读物化PHD的，应该基础很好，不找个门槛高点的工作就亏了。
In terms of salary, both options should be the same, the difference is career development. Personally I think 精算 has more career advancement than statistics, but it needs high level of writing skills later on as you become senior. For example, I heard 6 or 7 level exams only contain essay questions. Do you like that?
MM是读物化PHD的，应该基础很好，不找个门槛高点的工作就亏了。Yes, I think you can get good jobs:)
3是如果，我不读书，自己自学考试的话，可以吗？不过，我找的资料都说这样很难。如果我考SAS的资格证书会简单一些吗？对找工作有帮助吗？
with your background, you have no problem self-studying. Be confident, girl!

it really depends...
if you really pass all the exam, acturial is definitely rewarding for money-wise
but just like you said, it requires good writing skills, and acturial is kind of boring in some way, more like a fixed career path... and you have to pass the exams in a certain period of time, otherwise the company won't keep you
I agree with you. I have thought about going for acturial field, but I gave up after consulting with several friends in the field. I am just not that type of person always geared up preparing for exams, it takes years and years.
也问一下，如果读精算，是什么样的课程，要多大的付出（比如经济上，时间上），之后的工作是什么样的？
在看二楼mm的意思是，可以什么也不读，直接找和精算有关的工作，如果数学背景特别好的话？
from what my friends told me, 精算起薪 is about 60K-70K. They are in Chicago and CT.

insurance companies, most of jobs are in east coast. State government also has a lot of openings, but I am not sure if they sponsor anymore.
