Is a CFA worthwhile for me?

Question

Hi,

I have my MA in economics, specializing in financial economics, and my BA in economics & finance and I am wondering whether or not I should get my CFA and if it would be of any use to me.

Thanks for any help.

It really depends what you want to do.. If you want to work in I-bank, wealth management, equity research etc. having designation can give you edge. It's a great learning tool too. It really depends what you want to do in future ? You should check cfainstitute.org or analystforums.com to get specific answers to your question.
