Don't mean to be a smartass but cfa website has a mistake...

If this hypothetical question that I made up appeared on the test, what would you have answered? Q) “I considered doing a master’s, but when I heard about the CFA [designation] and looked at the syllabus, I realized that this was a very hands-on degree.” This statement violates the Standards most likely because: a) Master’s > CFA b) This person should have known about the CFA a long time ago c) This person referred to the CFA designation as a degree Your answer most likely would have been c), yeah? Well, this statement is prominently displayed in the Charterholder Profile section… Maybe the IT guys should have taken the CFA too.
