I’ve been considering the advantages/disadvantages of participation in the CFA program versus Sasuke. For someone ideally looking to get into PE Research, Hedge Fund Risk Management, Sales/Trading Management for a major Investment Bank, or any other position containing words like ‘Senior Executive’ or ‘Vice President’, which designation would help a person get his foot in the door: CFA or Ninja Warrior? If a prospective candidate/contender hails from a state school that is reputable (when compared to the myriad of online education service providers), has sufficiently expanded his IT skill-set (to include Outlook), and is confident of his capacity for quick mastery of every aspect of almost any art form (having taken some liberal arts electives) including the other major MS applications- such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint- as well as martial arts combat, then he is a still far reach from passing most applicant screening processes. If he was determined, would his time be better spent on curriculum studies in the CFA program or at hard physical training in pursuit of Ninja Warrior status? To take things further, assume that this person’s work experience is described generously as plebian, his social networking opportunities have been tragically limited by an acute speech impediment, and he has a face like a modern art masterpiece. If he was guaranteed success of completing one or the other, would the CFA or Ninja Warrior title be better suited for helping him side-step initial barriers to entry between himself and a lucrative career on Wall Street?
After many years of study, both the CFA and Ninja warrior tend to flip out and kill people as well as commit seppuku.
Try to be more like Chuck Norris. He doesn’t “need” any stinking designations.
Chuck Norris doesn’t earn the CFA, the CFA earns Chuck Norris.
CFAI has been applying for candidacy in the Chuck Norris program for over 20 years. Every year, the rejection email arrives, and their mainframes spontaneously combust. That’s why the grading process takes so long.
Chuck Norris can’t make ethic violations because ethics wants to be violated by Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris uses LIFO in an inflationary enviornment, and his earnings still rise.

Chuck Norris doesn’t mark to market, the market marks to Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris lives up and to the left of the efficient frontier.

Chuck Norris has all kinds of stinking designations including a 9th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. The guy who set up my kid’s TKD place is awesome and an ex-world champion and a 6th degree black belt. A 9th degree bb is unbelievable.
I always thought that after 5th degree black belt, it became largely political (ie., how many students do you have, what have you contributed to the craft, etc) vs. what new skills you have. Not that 9th degree isn’t an accomplishment.
The specialists control the limit order books, and Chuck Norris controls the specialists.
Chuck Norris’s options are always in the money.
Every day the British Bankers Association asks Chuck Norris what LIBOR should be. Every day he tells them to figure it out for themselves.

Not > that 9th degree isn’t an accomplishment. At UFC 4, some “10th” degree black belt (Ron van Clief) got totally pwned by Royce Gracie, a lower-ranked black belt from Gracie Jiu Jitsu. (Though, I can’t fault Mr. van Clief since he owned up to the fact that karate, and all other stand-up martial arts “alone” are effectively useless against someone with ground skillz.) Georges St. Pierre, current UFC welterweight champ, does not have a black belt. In the end, I consider belt rankings to be analogous to degrees/designations. Can be useful for information purposes “most” of the time, but there are many circumstances when you can ignore them.
