PV of a CFA Charter?

CFA General
#1

If you were to guess what the dollar value of a CFA Charter is worth, in terms of future earnings, job opportunities, recognition, and the paper it’s printed on…what would you say? Probably a better question: If you hadn’t done L1, L2, or L3…what would you pay for a CFA Charter today? $5000? $25,000? $75,000

I don’t like these questions - why are you asking this?

#3

(just wondering - not trying to be mean or anything)

#4

1150$ for my subscription + books… 500$ for my Schweser… 900$ for the prep courses… Total: 2550$ What would I pay in may for my life back? Now that’s the question… J.

I always hear from other CFA’s that “once your done, it’ll be worth it”…after L2, that remains to be seen. Perhaps the three letters after my name on a resume will keep my resume out of the HR managers garbage can.

It is not going to change anything, son.

It doesn’t open doors, it keeps them open just long enough for you to have a chance of making it in the door. It comes down to running speed.
