whilst I appreciate you trying to inspire others. 45k isn't that much. Its about £600 a week after tax and NI, not including pension or student loans if you have them. I clear £500 a week working as a laborer for the summer and consider myself broke.

No I am set on staying in consulting. I like being able to work with many clients and the company I work is a great place to work so I want to stay there for as long as I can.
I'm not the partying type aha, many actuaries, even in consulting, don't go partying and clubbing, although I do go to a restaurant/bar with colleagues once a week and make sure to keep contact with friends from uni and school.
I'm currently in a relationship so I guess it's been pretty successful yeah
Here's the point... and your somewhere over the south pacific.
Point being that neither are alot and who cares anyway. I'm impressed with the actuary bit, the 45k is insignificant.
I only put 45k because I knew no one is going to click on a thread that says "I'm an actuarial consultant AMA" except other actuaries Click bait works
But honestly, 45k is quite a lot for me because I come from a working class background and was the first person in my family to go to university so these sorts of salaries have been alien to me for a long time.

Seen! I'm also from working class background. Started working as a trainee field engineer when I was 20 and ended up in a regional operations manager role at 23, used to earn a hell of a lot but had to work +60 hours a week for it. in the end I left to study Pet eng at Uni (but had to take my GCSE's andd foundation year), at least I can fall back on my experience for work during summer though.
Like I said originally, congrats. But you can earn more than £45k without GCSE's (which was my main point, not trying to have a peeing contest), So make that degree count. Senior Consultant!

Ok I get what you mean, £45k maybe isn't impressive compared to other skilled jobs but for me it is a lot and there is potential to hit £80k and more in the future so I'm happy with the the salary package.
The main reason I went to university was because I didn't really know what I wanted to do in life. I knew I liked maths but didn't know much about actuarial work until my second year and I really enjoyed the work and the stuff I learnt.
So yeah, AMA I've got a house, car and stuff I need innit
