More schooling than Jesuits? OK, I'll plead ignorance on that analogy. You only need a 4 year degree, but then the actuarial exams typically take at least 7 years to complete. Actuarial exams are all self-directed study. No classes or anything like that.
My last exam covered 2,400 pages of material. Six hour essay exam. That's only one out of 10 exams though.
