When it comes to Actuarial swag, there's not a whole lot out there. However, recently at a conference, a "Hug An Actuary" hat made a noticeable appearance among the humdrum of business casual. This inspired the following list of reasons (if you needed any) to Hug an Actuary!
- Actuaries won't bite. They are gentle creatures, although solitary at times (like cats in a way) - which leads to...
- It will force an actuary to interact with another human being
- They may have just learned if they passed or failed the exam they were studying for and need to celebrate or be comforted.
- They may be studying for an exam, in which case they could use some reassurance and a little confidence boost.
- Some analytical skills might rub off. At the very least you might find yourself a little more proficient in Excel.
- It's a good way to confirm the actuary is not a robot.
- It's a good way to confirm that actuaries actually exist.
- If lots of actuaries get hugs, then the prices of insurance in the market might drop, starting an economic boost.
- It might lead to steamier forms of physical contact (this may be a drawback)
- HUGS ARE AWESOME!
