When Rita was 3 years old she had a tendency to stack blocks in probability distribution shapes. At first her mother thought the patterns were just imaginative. But then when Rita started making histograms with candy pieces and named her pet hamster 'chi-squared', she understood there was something else at play. Rita is now a junior in college and is bristling with excitement at starting her first internship at an insurance company in the actuarial department.Angela is also starting her first internship in the same area. She still isn't sure if the actuarial science will live up to its hype. She's also thinking about the possibility of being a math teacher or trying to make it as a drummer in a female punk rock band.
Both women represent two ends of the hotly debated topic - are actuaries born or is it a choice?
