I can remember on either BoS or VN someone in second year of doing actuarial studies was saying how crazy the course became.

to a degree. These are many other ways to make much more money eg be a partner at a huge law firm. I am sure that the money dosen't hurt at all. But i'm pretty sure what ever career or job you pick is going to be motivated by money to a certian extent for at least 90% of people.

People don't choose physics for the salary. But with commerce you would do it for the money - it seems like a very dull area. One of my friends who is 32 doing a maths major - after be a vet for a while and getting an engineering degree. He said as a rule the more dull the work, the more money and conversely the more fun, the less money.

I was seriously considering actuarial studies too and spent alot of time thinking about it.
The main reasons I didn't do actuarial studies was because 1. You can't get a PhD, the highest degree you can get is a bachelor. 2. You have to consistently take exams for 8 years to reach the highest salary.
The reason I'm doing Finance/Maths is because finance requires maths and it has more job opportunities where as actuarial studies is too restricted. Plus you can get a PhD in finance and could become a uni lecturer/work at banks/CEO etc.

That's a bit of a generalisation, no?

I think thats pretty unfair. Yes many people do commerce for money, but quite a few are generally interested. Some areas are quite dry but theres also some very interesting stuff. I mean, I could say people doing Law are only motivated by money because after doing a Law subject I found it somewhat boring - but I don't because I know people that enjoy it.
