A Few Questions About The Actuarial Field?

Is it possible for a recent grad with a math minor and an accounting major to get an actuarial job?
Where do I look to find companies that are hiring entry level actuaries?
For cover letters and general business talk–when do you say “actuary” and when do you say “actuarial?”
How do you go about studying for the actuarial exam?
Just wondering… I am toying with the idea of pursuing the this career path. If I come up with more questions I’ll add them on.

    No. You need a masters degree in actuarial science.
    An Actuary is the person. Actuarial is the position.
