<p>Hi everyone! I could definitely use some career advice and that's why I am here! </p>
<p>I graduated in 2011 from a top 25 school with a BA in economics. I also have a strong accounting background, and I am very close to sitting for the CPA exam. I'm currently working in underwriting for a large health insurance company. </p>
<p>I eventually want to work in consulting. I know a lot of consulting companies offer health and benefits analyst positions (both actuarial and non-actuarial) that I'm interested in. </p>
<p>Anyways, would it be better to sit for the CPA exam (my preference) or pursue the actuarial track. I'm confident that I can do both, but I am closer and would prefer to do the CPA.... It just seems a lot less relevant! Anyone have any advice?</p>
