Do people actually love doing this? Would anyone here research stocks on their own time for their own private enjoyment for no tangible financial benefit? I’m just curious. I can do the work but find it to be painful, laborious, and time consuming. I did some research reports in school for MBA. I can’t say I exactly like it, but given sufficient financial incentives I could probably learn to like it, or at a minimum put up with it. Please no comments like…“hey your a level 3 candidate!!!, what do you mean you don’t like research, you just wasted 3 yrs of your life!!! hahahaha”
I love doing it. LOVE IT. Its not my job, but i like it.

Finance MBA, I am sort off with you. I started CFA cuz everyone around me was talking about it. So I was like, why not give it a shot. Big mistake, I am not a big fan of research and I did a research internship, and absolutely detested it. Maybe not my cup of tea to sit around all day at a desk looking for data and compiling it and analyzing it etc, which was what I was doing. Currently, working with a couple of start-up companies, and absolutely loving it. Doing the grunt work is really appealing to me and I feel I am learning a lot more about how things work. Maybe head for an MBA in the near future and work in company as opposed to a pure finance job.
