Who really cares. Where's the snooze emoticon.

According to his dad Deion plans on majoring actuarial science. Both ND and PSU offer this major.

wow. actuarial science. if i had to guess, that must require much more focused grades/exam scores in math than other majors. It's very rare you see a football player going for math. Deion is either very smart or very committed, or both. I've been thinking about taking the first two actuarial exams for awhile now.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. My grandfather was an actuary with MetLife for about 50 years.

I don't know what an actuary is, but my grandpa who played at ND went on to the Marines then to Met Life for a long time as well.

From what I've heard it's extreamly hard, but starting pay for the low end ones are around 75K+ a year, and the mid level guys get 200K+ a year, and it of course gets even higher if you work for the bigger insurance firms and advance in the field. Actuaries are the people that create the probability/risk tables that insurance companies utilize to set rates.

Thanks for dumbing it down for me Gip. I really had no idea what actuarial science was. Hopefully Deion will come to ND and we'll need someone with his math skills to keep up with his receiving stats.
