Think 5-10 years of CFA exams


See that is insane. He went to UVA and got a degree in econ but only had a 2.3. He is smart but insanely lazy. That is why he's talking of going back for the MS.

5-10 years of exams hardly would make that worth it but I have heard it is lucrative.

Thanks for the insight.

Now that could be a problem. He might get sick of it really quickly and you have to have some serious drive to stick with it. I have no idea what the market is like right now but it has to be really competitive, he I would think he would need to do the MS just to get his GPA up.

Yeah, the exams are intense, and I think 5 years is the minimum amount of time required IIRC.

If he has more than a passing interest, he should probably just sign up for the first exam (it's basically a calc exam) and feel it out. I think it's relatively cheap, compared to the CFA exams.
