Talk me off the ledge...

I wrote an exam for my professional designation in November and the results are being posted this afternoon. I spent about 5 months and 400 hours studying for this thing, and pass rates are about 50% (by design). I'm freaking out over here...can hardly stand it...

Working towards my F.S.A. (fellow of the society of actuaries) and Canadian equivalent, F.C.I.A. (fellow of the canadian institute of actuaries). 8 exams, plus some professional development crap (project, seminars, etc)...this was #8...

Will do all the difficult / free / warranty stuff at the dealership. A couple of guys here have recommended another place for work I actually have to pay for. Apparently the guy that opened up this garage was the dealership's top tech for 10 years.

Why do you ask?

MoreCowbell · 01-19-2007, 09:36 PM

Nice work man!!! Way to go!!!

StewtheBassman · 01-20-2007, 09:06 PM

I have a friend who travels from Montreal to NB and back for work...he actually lives in New Brunswick....I'm trying to talk him out of his Acura TL............I guess I could just check on the BMW website to see if there is a dealership there!
