本人申请时误打误撞添了个major math & statistics，不知哪位前辈能告知我此专业职业前景如何？谢了！

a little bit finance abc for you:
any financial institution (i.e banks, insurance companies...) is under the leadership of CEO (chief exctive officer, or #1 of the company)
2 key executive works under CEO, (vp finance (sometimes called cfo), and vp secretary)
3 key officer work under cfo (chief investment officer, chief actuary and chief controller)
chief actuary is appointed by the board, and report directly to the board. he works under ceo, but only responsible to the board. in a nutshell, accountants dealing with taxation, financial reports and financial management. actuaries works with risk management, reserve calculation and pricing. very different job.

Actuary Mathematics is not a branch of Accountancy. It's a professional undergraduate program just like Engineering, Computer Science, Accountancy. It's quite different from Mathematics & Statistics.

Actuary Mathematics has a nice career potential. But you have to pass some very long-period exams while you're working in the field, maybe 6 years.
