SOA Plans New Exam Track - Anything That Deals With Insurance

Recently the SOA released news that it would offer a General Insurance track.  While this in itself is groundbreaking news, it overshadows an even more aggressive agenda of expansion that’s in the works.
Sources close to the inner working of the society indicate an even broader track with the minimal requirement that it some way ‘deals with insurance’.  Candidates that successfully complete this track would get their DWI certificate.
Possible syllabus items include:
p         Animals and Insurance:  How to Pick a Mascot/Logo/Spokes-creature for your company
p         Things that start with i
p         Material from other professions (CPA, CFA, Medical Boards, JD)
p         Some semi-professional exams – Bartending Certification,  Class A Drivers Test , etc
Candidates will also have to demonstrate mastery of sports trivia, pop culture, the game of Monopoly, and select passages from the sacred texts of most world religions.
 There was some slight confusion over a connect-the-dots and color-by- number placemat from a local dining establishment.  It turned out that it wasn’t part of the proposed material, but was accidently placed there after the committee leader took his family out for Friday night dinner.
The SOA hopes to give out several hundred DWIs over the next few years.
