One of the few industries that’s been able to weather the recession pretty well, surprisingly, is the Canada home insurance industry. This field isn’t just for salesmen sorts that would do well on the broker and sales agent side of the business. Instead, there are highly rewarding technical positions and roles that firms are finding are growing harder and harder to fill.
For example, if you’ve performed relatively well in the areas of mathematics, finance, and even physics (very related skill and subject) then you may very well be a good fit for the Canada home insurance industry. Specifically, you’ll likely be a good fit for roles on the actuary side of the industry and business. As an actuary, your function and role is very critical to firms and to the industry at large. You’re responsible for the very formulas that dictate the amounts that premiums are set, and the consequent fees required of subscribers in order to keep insurers afloat.
