Answer
A
However
B
So
C
For instance
D

Explanation

The paragraph first says actuaries can earn a high salary because their skills are in demand, then contrasts that benefit with the difficulty of becoming one. “However” signals this contrast: an actuary must pass ten levels of exams, which can take years. “So” suggests a result, “For instance” introduces an example, and “In addition” adds a similar point rather than a contrasting one.
