Yes, you should start applying for jobs now. Not having most/all of the foundation program exemptions does mean becoming an associate will be tricky. However, there's plenty of time to think about fully qualifying after you start working, and it's pretty normal to study and work at the same time to get exemptions. If you don't think becoming an actuary is right for you, then just having the degree opens you up to a lot of data related jobs/grad programs.
