Starting Business Fraternity, the employers view on this? - Actuarial ...

Quote:

Honestly, I think it shows initiative, dedication, leadership, and would look great on a resume and would be a good topic of conversation in an interview. Where is the downside in this? If you can still balance your time, getting good grades and passing exams while taking on this endeavor, then even better. Plus it can help develop much needed social skills which are increasingly desired of actuarial candidates. I say go for it.

Thank you, I mean I thought so too, my only concern is truly and really being able to balance my time efficiently, although one can say people on the actuarial track have a good grasp on that in general, so if I'm cut out to be an actuary, I'll make it work.

It's obvious that the main reason you are doing it is because you like it. Not because the employers will love it because if that was the reason, and you knew employers would love it, you would simply not be asking this question.

When it comes down to it, it is my own fear of balancing whether I can study for exams and keeping my grades up that I am doubting. Currently I am an A student, if I help start this then my GPA might drop possibly around to a 3.5? Sadly I feel for me it is unrealistic for me to keep a 3.8+, help manage this Frat and study for exams at the same time. The question I am asking is that I've always valued grades, but will this trade off of lower gpa to do something I enjoy truly worth it, even if this something is academically related?
Joni we do not all have the same brain as you do, I do not consider myself extremely bright, but I do believe I work hard which has allowed me to succeed, now my main concern is where I should focus my hard work, if that makes any sense.
