This past year has been a strange year for me and I must admit that it has been somewhat of a struggle. I feel that I’m at a fork in the road where I have to decide what I need to do and which course of action sounds best for me and my family.
In all my working career, I felt that I could easily change careers into different sectors (ie. programming to business). As I grow older, I have realized that it is not as easy as it may have sounded.
I have been contemplating which direction to go, Grad School or CFA. Grad school will cost me a lot of money but will allow me to completely switch gears and dive right into the financial world. I do not know if that is a good idea right now as I’m not sure if its worth the money right now. I am also thinking of trying get the CFA charterholder honor. Both will take the same amount of time and I’ve found that CFAs are desired by big companies. One big difference is that there is less cost to become a CFA Charterholder.
I’m still debating and must come up with a solution soon. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks!
