Actuarial work is the only high-paying career path I know of where non-university certifications count as something significant on one's resume. Anyone have any ideas on why this is?
(I'm dreaming about an educational system where teaching and certifying are decoupled, so the way to run a profitable education company is to teach people effectively, as measured by some test, rather than run an old and prestigious institution. The actuary field seems like the closest thing to what I'm dreaming about, so I'm wondering what's made it different.)
Does the bar exam not count as a significant non-university certification?
Not in the relevant sense. Most bar exams require a J.D. (i.e. graduation from law school). Exceptions exist (California is one example), but the norm is so strong that most people capable of passing the bar exam without law school choose to attend law school anyway to avoid the social resistance.
