Actuaries can earn a substantial income, particularly as they gain experience and advance in their careers. Salaries vary based on factors like location, industry, and level of certification, but many actuaries enjoy high earning potential and job stability. However, wealth also depends on individual financial choices and circumstances, so not all actuaries are necessarily "rich."
The motto of Society of Actuaries is 'The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances and demonstrations for impressions.'.
