    Both these courses are on my radar. I like the look of both but uncertain which should be my 1st preference on CAO. In terms of employers, types of positions, salary and life/work balance.., which would be your first pick? Trying to think sensibly as both courses are achievable for me so I'm trying to not make mistakes or have any regrets. Hope someone can offer their wisdom and help me decide.

    Id like to work in an area where ultimately the hours are life friendly so was thinking Actuary...or Odds Compiler as sport is what I really like.

    Finance generally isn't hours friendly! Most people I know in finance (banking) hate their lives.

    Software engineering is hours friendly because many employers will let you work your own hours or work from home.

    Based on what you've said so far, Actuarial + Financial Studies sounds like a better match for you.
