I've done my ba in Economics, flunked out of my ma, did a year of calc 2/3, data analytics, regression analysis, discrete math. Gave up on pursuing a msc in stats since I'm 26.

I'm 26 and I need a job. I need a job yesterday, but my gpa is 2.7. 3.55 4000 level courses and 3.3 for the stupid non degree stuff I was doing. I need an entry level role, please help me. I'm applying to analyst underwriter and I honestly wouldn't mind either. Manager pays alot of money at a bank. But so does actuary, so if i get a job as a underwriter then I'll just do my actuary exams.

Please throw me a bone. Someone recomended I apply to big 4 then go work at a bank in my post on /scotiabank but how tf am i supposed to land a job at deloitte? Not without a referral, so again, please help me.

Did my Ba in Economics, took 6 years and graduated with a 2.7gpa. Flunked out of my masters, went back to school for a year and did: calc 2 calc 3 Regression-analysis Data-Analytics Discrete-math. Now I'm 26, it's summer, and I need a job.

And everyone on linkedln in Risk analysis has an amazing profile of 85% gpa+Finance MA or MBA. I'm stressing out. I don't know what to do. Please help me figure out a career trajectory. I've been applying to risk/compliance/fraud/underwriting and just about anything that I can.

Did my Ba in Economics at York, flunked out of my masters and now I'm 26 looking for a job. Landing anything in analyst at banking seems impossible because they pick business school kids first, and even they have hard times so I feel out of luck. My resume is kind of data analysty, I can do excel/r/python blah blah. Can someone please help me land a first job? I'm applying to underwriting and operations as well, but my goal is risk analyst.

Title, I did my bachelor's in Economics with a 2.7gpa and I need a job. I'm 26 and my only work experience is a TAship I did for 4 months. I did some more course work, calc 2 / calc 3 / data courses and got a 3.3 gpa, which helps a bit. 3.55 in my final year courses btw (4000 level). But whatever.

I just need a job and I just want to start my career, please advise me.

I'm looking for a job and I'm insanely jealous of the actuaries, of the Itec students, and of the Engineers obviously. I tried going back to school for statistics minor equivalent, I did at least some data analytics to show off and calc 2 and 3.

Hello everyone,

My question is simply this, how competitive is an actuarial analyst position in Toronto, and how viable is it to become an actuary, especially if I did my bachelor in Economics?

Background: I appreciate anyone who replies, because I'm in the dark here. I know that to become an actuary, you just need to take the qualifying exams. I'm 26 without work experience besides a teaching assistantship I did, and I'm at a crossroad. I wanted to study further in Statistics at my local university but my family rightfully wishes that I go and work. I think that maybe they're right. Maybe I'm wasting my time with further education, and maybe I can make a real wage as an Actuary anyway. I've taken Calclulus 2 and Calculus 3, I think I can handle the math side. My plan is to apply to underwriter/analyst roles and eventually work as an Actuary. Please help me.

Title. I have a bachelor's in Economics. I flunked out of my masters and now I'm confused what I can do for work. I thought about underwriter, anything with the title analyst in it, I just don't know. Please help thank youuuu

I did my bachelor's in Economics at York University, and graduated in 2024. I tried further schooling, but now I'm looking for work as an Underwriter. I have a temporary teaching assistantship, and I have work experience in a car manufacturing plant. I have experience in Excel/R/SAS and with regression analysis / data preprocessing etc, I've listed some projects I've done.

Can I please know if anyone has hunted for the role of Underwriter before? I'm looking to start my career path as an Actuary and I intend to start as an underwriter, please help me.

I did my undergraduate in Economics and then I flunked out of my masters. I thought I would just study Statistics, to the equivalent of a minor, and then do another masters.

I think that's idiotic now. I am looking for mainly an underwriter job. I don't think I should study anymore, especially because I'm 26. Other people have made it as lawyers and high income earners and I'm jealous, but maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

I did my bachelor's in Economics. I'm 26 and I'm looking for work wherever I can. I've applied to banking, analyst roles at various companies, underwriter positions, government, OPS, and more.

I was going back to school for statistics part-time and then I planned on doing a Msc in Statistics but my family is angry with me and wants me to go and work. Maybe they're right.

I think I'm going it through it now.

My plan was to study from a math textbook today. I drank some coffee this morning, I couldn't stand staying at home so I went to the library. I couldn't stand it there, and so I came home. I saw my cousins who I've been ignoring for a while yesterday and it was kind of awkward. I think I'm experiencing burnout now. Sometimes, I find it excruciating painful to find focus. My head just spins. I have alot of ghetto assholes from highschool who I still hate and I can't process those memories, I don't get why I, someone who wanted to be academically successful, had to be surrounded by those bums. Fucking worst outcome.

At other times I can hyperfocus and it's great. I don't get it. I slept for like 4 hours after my cousin's came over. I hate social situations. Oddly enough, it helped me become more social. I talked to some guy at the library. I'm usually a weird mute.

I'm brown and I think my skin color is hated outside of Toronto, and even within the GTA. I'm looking to choose between UofT, QueensU, Ottawa, McMaster for my master's program.

I want to know what the experience is like at QueensU as a minority? My friend said that he sometimes felt ignored --but not always-- and that he wasn't among his peers' first choice. I was told classism is a much larger nuance than skin color, and my parents are blue collar and I'm afraid I may not fit the demographic. I want to go to Queens, but I'm worried I don't fit into the social climate. Thoughts?

Hello all.

As the title suggests, I NEED A JOB. I need to make $2k by September and another $2k in January to fund my part-time non-degree studies. I'm looking for any low skilled work that you know that is currently hiring. I am very desperate.

I have a bachelor's degree in Economics and work with forklift/warehousing/shipping and receiving. Please tell me if you know of anywhere that's hiring.

I wanted to discuss the perils involving academic success, and navigating school as an autistic person.

My family is blue collar and we moved to an ethnic enclave. I believe three things are essential for success in a white collar career. In no order:

1. Ability, you need to be good enough for university.
2. Willingness, you need to study and make it your life.
3. A good hand in life.

Number 3 is what I want to discuss. Again, my family moved to an ethnic enclave because the housing is nicer, but the people are shit. My neighbour constantly harassed me and eventually ended up in prison, and kicked out of his home. My bus mates were dumb fucks. And the ethos was more about chasing women and smoking marijuana than anything university coded. Very few people at my school even studied.

I just read recently that people feel being from a white collar family gives you tremendous leverage not afforded to a poor youth. I whole heartedly disagree. I saw my friend's older brother, who grew up extremely poor and with a single parent, manage x4 dean's list and then law school, and now he works as a litigation lawyer for Canada.

So now onto autism. Being affable is a trait I struggle with. I find in academic environments, the social climate is more high stakes and being weird gets you shot. I'm 26 now and I flunked out of my last masters. I want to go back to the same school for another masters in 2 years time, once I'm done with my local courses. I seriously think you need the career pathway open to you, because in my life I feel that path was blocked off by school mates and my family. I hate my cousins. They did nothing but get in my way. They ruined everything. I hate them. I guess that's all I wanted to say. I hate that my life didn't go my way.

I flunked out of an Economics masters some time ago.

Few considerations. One, I didn't know I was autistic level 1. Two, I couldn't get along with anyone. One of my classes (econometrics) allowed us to work in groups of 3-4, I didn't manage to find a group.

I felt like an IDIOT. I was getting ~65% on my microeconomic hw when we need a 70% passing grade. My housemates began to dislike me for not talking and so that also hurt.

I tried reasoning that I failed and others didn't because people were sharing answers. An office mate admitted to being lost in what was essentially stochastic processes, and then she cut herself off when saying "but I have all the answers." Okay great.

Why did I fail? I wasn't prepared enough for econometrics, I was completely lost. Stochastic Processes under the label of Financial Economics also hurt. Microeconomics was the only fair course for me but I spent so much time on Econometrics and I just don't know.

I tried making excuses left and right. Maybe I'm just not smart enough. I felt I was computationally faster than a fair amount of my classmates, some people clearly only passed because they had strong partners to work with. I'm intending on studying statistics now and I'm spending every day preparing for the masters, which might be stupid because i'm 26. My bachelor's in Economics isn't offering me any jobs since i took 6 years and my gpa is 2.7. I'll enter Msc Stats at 28, and I hope to go in fully prepared, but this might be about the dumbest decision I ever make. I just want to do it for personal glory, i sometimes want to go back to the univeirsity I flunked out of for completions sake but I can't make friends with people from white collar backgrounds.
