This is another great job for someone who has a keen eye for detail, a good head for numbers, and at least a policy of tolerance for Microsoft Excel. An actuary is a person who works with an insurance firm to analyze claim data as it comes in, and look for patterns. Their work will inform changes in pricing or policy which the insurer goes on to make in the future.
Some of their recommendations will be obvious. If there's a sudden spate of claims for burglary in a certain zip code area, you raise your home insurance prices for the area. What's subtler is spotting a combination of health risks which can combine to limit someone's mortality, for example, the killer cocktail of smoking and type 2 diabetes, which was noticed by actuaries long before doctors picked up on it. There's a lot of number crunching to do, but there will be big numbers on your pay cheque at the end of each month.
