What salary would you give up to pursue a career requiring a CFA designation?

Let’s say you have worked 10 years in a certain industry be it health, IT, or engineering, and you are making a comfortable salary because you are good and lucky. Given that you don’t care for job satisfaction and the only thing you care for is money, what maximum salary would you give up to pursue a career requiring a CFA designation, in hopes of making more money? A) 70,000 B) 100,000 C) 130,000 D) 160,000 E) 190,000 Hey now, I know there are five choices and I know the CFA exam offers only four, but I believe in you and know you can handle the extra option! Level 2 Candidate. Also a winning poker player, hence the name “anytwocanwin”. My fulltime job isn’t poker.

Starting this year CFA exams have only 3 choices. In this economy I wouldn’t give up any more than 20k, maybe less than that, just for qualifying work experience.
