Hi everyone, I (21M) recently finished an internship with a P&C insurance company as an actuary. I worked 9-5 M-F in the office in a new state and I was so depressed I couldn't function by the last day.

I already passed 2 actuarial exams and did this internship, but I feel like I won't be able to survive as an actuary unless I can get full WFH and it's in a line I find interesting. (I did medical malpractice and it seriously drained me)

What other options exist out there with my statistics degree? I feel a little paralyzed by choice -- I chose statistics because of its super broad application to all fields and now I'm feeling the breadth of it.

I initially chose being an actuary because of the high earnings potential and regular working hours. It seemed like work I could do for a paycheck and come home and go on with my life. I quite like statistics but had no interest in insurance whatsoever.

The issue is I ironically don't have many applicable interests to my degree. I like music, video games, cooking, and I used to like urban planning & transportation but I haven't looked into it as much as I used to, but I wouldn't mind working in that sector.

I'm ok getting a graduate degree, I was thinking about economics but I really have no idea. My dad wants me to get an MBA and I would rather starve to death.

Any advice appreciated, sorry for the really long incoherent rant.

I'm a 21 year-old-male for context.

I brush & floss twice a day and just had to get FOUR more fucking fillings and my mouth still hurts all day.

I had really really rapid hair loss when I was 15/16, and I've been on minoxidil and finasteride for over a year and I'm still beyond cooked (Norwood 3/4).

I eat relatively healthily and walk miles a day to work and class and I'm still steadily gaining weight. I work 2 part-time jobs and am a full time student so going to the gym is hard, but I'd really expect myself to not gain weight on 2 meals a day where I'm watching what I eat and at least 3 miles of walking a day.

I'm fucking sick of my body not responding to my efforts of trying to improve myself when everyone else doesn't fucking do shit and stays completely fucking fine.
