Actuary. All you got to do is pass some tests (3 or so to start) that you should be pretty prepared for. Then you can get a job and complete the other tests over the course of your career.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
