It really depends on the individual to be honest. I currently a trainee actuary looking to take on a different career path as I do find the job quite dull. 90% of my time is spent looking a spreadsheets and the exams which I'm studying for (which are extremely time consuming and generally reduce your social life) have little or nothing at all to do with my day to day job. I often believe that learning probability and other complex mathematical theorems for exams is very necessary and just a method of screening out those who aren't fully committed to obtaining final Actuarial qualification.

That being said if you do enjoy studying maths then this is a solid career path which guarantees you (once qualified) to a well paid and relatively low pressure job. Everyone is different so I encourage other maths graduates to give the career a try if interested and simply move like myself if you find it dull.
