Hello guys, I currently work for a Bank in Florida. I was just promoted to Corporate and as Jr Financial Analyst(Budget dpt). I'm graduating with my BBA in Finance in May 2005 and I'm not sure what career path to follow. I like finance and accounting. I'm currently 26 yrs old and I'm very confused which career to choose. Unfortunatetly, I'm not able to choose one of the big schools to do my MBA, so I do not know if it is worth it. According to your experiences which career will give me more opportunities to find a high paying job (staring $50,000) with the experience that I'm obtaining? I will appreciate your advice. Thanks |

I think CPA is better than CFA bcoz being a CPA open doors especially if u r a fresh grad & its one comprehensive exam unlike CFA lvl. 1-3 & really doesn't boost ur resume especially if ur a fresh grad! But if ur a finance major... then this is the only option 4 u!!! To end this statement if u wanna make it worth ur while ie passing a hole thru a sewing needle kinda trouble! U might wanna reconsider bcoz something that gives off a better return ie ROI!!! Remember CFA lvl.1 has 34% rate of passing! Think about it!!! |

I think:- MBA is a matter of FROM WHERE? CPA- is for auditors CFA- is for financial specialists! |

1 am also in the samE shoes of "MBA or CFA?" It is giving me a big headache. However, i think i would go for CFA first plus a job experience then MBA. |

Hi guys, I am from Brazil and i´m planning to move to Canada to work as financial analyst. I´m engineer and MBA, but the MBA I did in Brazil is not valid outside the country. What do you think about the CFA for me? Will it open doors for me? Now i work as finance coordinator in an American Company in Brazil. |

1st do mba then cfa if u like otherwise does not matter when u r in "shoes" |

ASNC, The cfa is disproportionately popular in Canada. At least partially because schooling isn't as distinguishable there (There is a notable difference between a Wharton MBA and a University of Florida MBA. Notsomuch for York vs. UBC). I work in NY. My cousins work in Toronto and all who are in finance are taking or will take the cfa. I recommend it. Good luck. |

I think u can do cfa after MBA. MBA is about your ultimate goal and cfa or cpa or acca is your depthness what u r working in your side. so be specific about your after 10 years goal. Either you hold a top position in auditing or in finance after 8-10 years. Thank you. |
