BC RISK MANAGEMENT
Saved by @Alex1Powell

Is doing a graduate degree in risk management and insurance worth the money? Why?
@GARP_Risk @actuarynews

 Depends!
#riskmanagement is a broad area which can offer various lucrative roles, especially in the financial sector.
They are a lot of risk management degrees available in the market.
Which one would you like to study?
And where it is being offered?
If the degree will focus more on Insurance Underwriting Management and related Risk Financing Courses, I won't advise you to do such a qualification.

The scope of such a degree won't go beyond Life and P&C Insurance Firms.
If the degree focuses more on Financial Risk Modelling, #ERM, #Cybersecurity, Information Security Risk Management, Lean Six Sigma and Quality Management, R and Python Coding, C language, SQL, NOSQL,VBA,MATLAB, EconoPhysics & #Econometrics, I would advise you to do such a degree.
But the questions remain =>
•How Quantitative/numerate the Degree is? A “GOOD DEGREE in Risk” should include => Inferential Statistics, Time Series, Applied Time Series, Regression Modelling and Diagnostics, Monte Carlo Simulation Methods, Experiment Design and RCTs,
Advance Business Calculus, Actuarial Probability and Statistics, Operations Research, Insurance Math and Econometrics with applications in Market, Credit, Liquidity and Operational Risk Measurement and Modelling.
o(NOT JUST DOING A FEW BASIC XLS EXERCISES in Value At Risk Computation Techniques and Models).

•How it will help you to get a job outside the Insurance Sector? Which is completely dominated by Quants (Financial Mathematicians and Econometricians) and Fully Qualified Actuaries
•How it will help you to compete against Internal Control Testers and Auditors, Financial Engineers, Quants, Actuaries and Financial Risk Management Experts? Note: All of them might be vying for the same risk roles advertised by companies.
Especially Operational Risk management is dominated by ERM and Audit Experts.
•How much of programming will you learn? C++, MATLAB, VBA, PYTHON, R or any other language?
•How Much of DS and Machine Learning technology is taught in addition to CS - Computer Science Programming? Any exposure to AIT - Artificial Intelligence Technology and Deep Learning in Python? Any exposure to Data Mining Techniques using SAS?
•Will the degree teach statistical and financial computation and modelling using MS XLS - VBA Macros Applications? That is total rubbish and outdated if that is the case.
•Will you get an opportunity to model and learn Insurance Derivatives and Structured Products?

This is an emerging area.
•Will the degree teach #Insurance Accounting and Law?

•Financial Regulation? Compliance? #GRC?

Which should include -Solvency II or the ERM framework/s such as #COSO or #IS031000 or others?

Take all the above into consideration before applying.

An irony of facebook's situation.

Sheryl got her MBA at Harvard. One of the most famous cases (Extra Strength Tylenol) in one of the most famous classes (Business History) she took: in 1982, someone put cyanide in Extra Strength Tylenol capsules and killed 7 people in Chicago.

What do you do when someone turns your product into a weapon? When they use the system you built to harm? James Burke, CEO of J&J, was shockingly open with the public, he pulled the product and made significant packaging changes to make product safer (but not tamper-proof).

He over-shared every step along the way re investigation, redesign, stood up as both CEO and human. The reintroduction of new Extra Strength Tylenol succeeded. Burke saved the brand.

But four years later it happened again. A killer put cyanide in the capsules, this time a woman in Yonkers died. Same CEO, Burke, pulled the product again, completely changed the form factor from capsule to caplet and relaunched *again*. It worked *again*. How'd they do that?

Burke (CEO) tapped J&Js goodwill bank account w/ the public. Two big withdrawals from that bank account in four years + 8 dead bodies! But his honesty, openness, humanity (choked up about the deaths more than once), humility kept the goodwill bank balance positive the whole time.

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!

#TodayInHistory Ram Prasad Bismil,Ashfaqullah Khan and Roshan Singh are hanged in 1927, as they give up their life for the cause of freedom and inspire many a revolutionary. #LestWeForget


Shahjahanpur was a hub of revolution during the freedom struggle. Most of the revolutioaries in the North, were from this town. And among them, the most famous were two friends, whom destiny would bring together- Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan.

Ashfaqullah Khan was born at the turn of the 20th century on October 22, while Bismil was born 3 years earlier on June 11, in the same town. Both of them were excellent writers in Urdu and Hindi.

Both of them would come together under the Hindustan Republican Association, not to mention the fact that Ashfaq was an admirer of Bismil’s poetry, and became close friends with him on that account.

And both these men were hanged on the same date, December 19, 1927 for their involvement in the Kakori event. Two men from different religions, different backgrounds, yet destiny would bring them together.

If you know me, you know I don't like broadcasting details about my personal life on this website, but I have been getting asked why I'm not doing Christmas this year so I just wanna put this whole mess to bed. First of all, I don't agree with gay marriage... (1 of 4,625)

... full of dog food and she said, "I'm pretending this is ice cream! Treat me like a baby!" and proceeded to hump her own arm and I thought, "something tells me this isn't the real Norah Jones"... (117 of 4,625)

...cost me $7,000. I had to put it on two separate credit cards! It wasn't 'til I got to my car that I realized "that's way too expensive for one onion." But I didn't have time. Amanda Seyfried was begging to change my diaper... (1,001 of 4,625)

...another Christmas miracle. Mistletoe, stockings, sleigh bells, snow! All these things I have put up my ass. The taste of coffee... (2,974 of 4,625)

...I felt a *very* cold finger on my cheek and I turned around and I said, "Grandma?" and she goes, "Surprise, I'm alive and I work at Sears!" I said, "okay"... (3,047 of 4,625)
