I converted to pounds because I don't have the poundy symbol and you guys have it if I write UK$.
The demand for actuaries is unreal. There is a severe shortage of them, hence they pay.

"In England, salaries for nearly and newly qualified candidates are £10-15,000 higher than in Scotland."
"However, the market for actuaries in the West Midlands is extremely tight. According to Alastair McLeish, partner at KPMG Pensions, Birmingham, 'Although there is universal demand for qualified actuaries, the region is experiencing extreme difficulty in recruiting the right candidates †“ so much so that there's more of an emphasis on training staff.' This paints a typical picture †“ those employers who are solving skills shortages are doing so by 'upskilling' existing workforces."
"For example, a newly qualified life actuary in the UK could expect to earn £50,000 plus benefits. "

"Opportunities for actuaries are many and varied. There is a continuing strong demand for actuaries and earnings in the actuarial profession have consistently compared well with those of other professions."
There is great demand in the UK it seems.
