Statistics vs. Actuarial Science

<p>Which degree is harder (more time consuming) in COLLEGE?</p>

<p>Which one is the more lucrative / has more job opportunities?</p>

<p>acturial science for both</p>

<p>Also, how much does name of college matter (ivy or non ivy) for either one?</p>

<p>Ok, if I ever wanted to graduate with one of those degrees but choose a path and research in the area of SOCIAL SCIENCE, do you think having a firm background in actuarial science will help me more than statistics?</p>
