Actuary is a great cozy career (less exciting in both good and bad ways). I recommend it if you like it. The only downside is limited geographic range.

But for me, software is a calling.

Well the majority of good software jobs are going to be geographically limited as well, unless you have the skillset and experience to break into remote work.
Is there such a thing as developing software for the actuarial industry?
Yes. It's demanding, well-paid and hard to break into.
I work at a life insurance company in NYC. Feel free to ping me if you're interested
Yes. I had a talk about this in Hacker News a while back, when I was deciding on whether to go into software or become an actuary. You can do both.
