[QUOTE="Quadcammer, post: 6015378, member: 6813"] the CFA is a VERY strenuous process. They recommend about 250 to 300 hours of studying per test. The level one is extremely challenging to weed out the unqualified. Not only is there a lot of modern portfolio theory in there, but you also have a bunch of ethics questions, which aren't easy. You can ABSOLUTELY not take this lightly. As to your job search, the CFA level 1 probably won't help much. It shows that you have some finance knowledge, but the best thing would be to get an entry level financial analyst job, and work your way from there. You should be able to get a job of that type with a b.s. in finance from florida. Try Raymond James Financial Services if you want to stay in Florida. Have you considered working for about 2 years and getting an MBA? Im getting my MBA part time at Stern while working full time. It was the best compromise to me. CFA is a great thing to have, but without experience, it will not open many doors. Further, you can not achieve a CFA charter without having 4 or 5 years of portfolio management experience. [/QUOTE]
