A most serious and sincere congratulations to you, szyzygy, Sir! According to my understanding, if your math geekiness is combined with the ability to sit at a table and have a pleasant and warm conversation with clients, your salary in ten years will be obscene by any standard.

THanks, Superman!
I am not one of the geeky actuaries. A couple of fellow pelicans on here know me IRL and can vouch for my non-geekiness. I was always better at verbal stuff than math.
My next goal is to start my own company. Where I am now is ok, but there is a little too much butt-kissing required that I just can't bring myself to do. So I'll go into consulting.
I hope my salary will be obscene- I remember one of the dudes on an exam prep DVD telling us about how we'll all be driving Ferraris someday. I'll take a Porsche instead, though!
