<p>Market Research Analysis vs. Actuarial Science: 1) which one's harder in college? 2) which pretty much prepares you for the other? 3) overall smarter choice if you were to like both? </p>
<p>Are they similar?
Just need a fresh perspective :)</p>
<p>To become an actuary, you have to take and pass very difficult exams, though the job is great if you get one, whereas getting into Market Research doesn’t require any exam. I think Actuarial Science has more Probabilities than Market Research… not sure.</p>
