“An Actuary is a good paying job that requires a Degree in Math”
Thats misleading. You need much more than a BA math degree. After you graduate you have to take very difficult exams with advanced math. It can take 6-10 years to finish all the exams. You have to have a very high aptitude for intense math course and have a specific career goal. That is very different than saying get a 4 year BA in English or Math at a CUNY school because it can “open a door”.
Your time can be better spent doing other things than opening doors with a 4 year CUNY BA degree.
