FYI...
Milton Friedman could not pass actuarial exams ...

“We're lucky that Milton Friedman flunked some of his qualifying exams to become an actuary -- (laughter) -- and became an economist, instead. (Laughter and applause). We're thankful for those tough exams -- (laughter) -- but not nearly as thankful as we are for the lives and talents and intellect of Milton and Rose Friedman.” – by President George W. Bush, May 2002.
I can attest that passing actuarial exams were much more difficult than getting a BS in math.
