Ben Stiller is an underwriter in "Along Came Polly".
Jack Nichlaus is an actuary in "About Schmidt".
My roommate thinks he is a math genius and the actuary program is at Lenior Ryan which is in Hickory NC. Not exactly a tier one school. I have just heard that the certification is almost impossible to obtain and that is the first thing an employee looks for, like a lawyer passing the bar, or accountant passing the cpa exam.

I don't think they care about school prestige at all, but they care a lot about exams.

It's not quite the same. You only really have to complete the first two to be a competitive candidate for an entry level job. But they do want you to take exams. My understanding is that a lot of firms pay for your exams and give you time off to study when you need it. They seem to take it really seriously.
Oh yeah, and the money for someone who is fully credentialed is really good. Hell, the entry level money isn't bad for someone right out of school. But you do have to be a numbers geek and some programming skills wouldn't hurt either.
