Part of my job here at the CAS Office is answering questions from people
interested in the actuarial profession. I received a question today
that I am unsure how to answer.

"I am a student in college majoring in mathematics and slowly passing
actuarial exams. My question is with regards to computer languages
(programming) - what languages would you advise to learn (take classes)
in order to be more marketable with respect to actuarial profession -
C++, Oracle. Please let me know what are the most common languages that
employers desire their actuaries to know in general."

Suggestions on how to respond would be appreciated.

Thanks!
