That's including university, right? For the first actuarial exam, I've heard if you've taken upper level stat or probability classes, you can pass. The other ones, not so much. Being an actuary pays well, but you're going to be spending a lot of time in the office.
A degree in actuarial science is so specialized that you really can't do anything else with it if you get burnt out in 5 years. Insurance, risk management, etc. But if you want to further your education, you can probably end up working in the financial sector or government agency. Why not major in math and minor in finance or econ? That will open up a lot of doors for you if you're interested in quantitative stuff like being an actuary.
