If you think about all the hours you spent studying for that degree or exams or classes and instead put that amount of time into doing research reading books pertaining to the business you want to open you'd be successful. Of course you might fail still but it will be a learning experience and you'll learn and grow. I graduated college with a degree only so I can have a secure decent paying job to start my own business soon. I could of easily not went to college and worked two jobs to save up but i'd be miserable.

lol at thinking all those medical degrees or STEM don't require the same. That's not the point. If you put the effort into something else other than trying to get a degree to get a normal dead end job then you'd be the top 5%. Of course everyone needs to start off with somewhere and need start up money but that's another story.

Approx.

0.40 x 0.40 x 0.5 = 0.08 chance of getting through the program

Assuming 40 percent pass first exam, 40 percent pass 2nd and 50 percent pass third which is roughly the scenario.

Let me know how that goes, but it's such a powerful script, that I'm not sure I really want my body on it.

Why are you getting the CFA if others are moving up with experience? I've heard CFAs don't make more money, any thoughts on this? I'd like to avoid it if I can.

Let's say you wanted to go into upper management at a company. Can you do that with a CFA qualification? or do you need something else.

My reason for attempting to complete the program is because my experience and marks in university are underwhelming and I am 27 just starting in the industry so I'm doing everything I can to help myself out...it's certainly not necessary to do well in finance but it doesn't hurt and if anything could help, obviously getting a job and building contacts are more important, it's not like you magically pass all 3 levels and become an analyst making 6 figures ... I'm sure some other posters could chime in on the merits of the program in terms of increased earnings and stuff I really don't have a clue

Well that's exactly what I'm concerned about. All that time and effort and stress and I'm not sure for what. One of my professors really hypes it up and I've heard enrollment to take the exam is actually down. I'll definitely do more research on my own before I consider taking it, because I'm pretty conflicted about it right now. I can't even imagine what people go through to take it and the price it costs. That's gotta be pretty demoralizing if you fail.

Some loser came and spoke at the campus saying he passed it first time all 3 times. But that was like 20-30 years ago and I'm like well congrats bro, I'm sure it's the exact same test, gtfo. I keep hearing people talking it up which makes me question the whole CFA in general. If it was so great, it would sell itself.

I just read a few articles quick for 20 minutes and the fact that there is even a gray area of whether you should get it or not tells me that it's not worth it to me. I don't plan on doing it, but things could change if I find new information in the future.

Good luck to ya though.

I agree, but please don't go into business expecting things will be rosy. For the first 2-3 years of my business, I worked 12-15 hour days. Most of my efforts failed. Hear 'no' 9/10 times. Deals I've been working so hard on fell through sometimes. Couldn't maintain relationships. Some days I wanted to commit suicide. Worth it now? Financially yes, I'm on track to being retired in my late 20's. From other perspectives? I dunno, I pretty much lost almost everything else but I'm young so it doesn't really matter, I can just start over.

Not discouraging but just saiyan it's not sunshine and rainbows. Loooots of sacrifice to be made. With that said, good luck. Not all businesses are like this, hopefully the industry you're going to pursue allows for more balance
