Broker does more entertaining.

Have you considered becoming an actuary?

But seriously, there are non traditional actuarial work too, the discipline is quite broad.

The overall broker market is under huge pressure from disintermediation. Fewer people need brokers these days. The position is generally more glamorous because you entertain on one side and get entertained on the other, but the overall market is shrinking. Only expect success if you back yourself as a 1% of 1%.
