Granted passing CFA exams may not serve as a perfect calling card, but participation in the CFA program is of positive meaning.

First of all, it's one's desire rather than approach that matters more. Participation in the program to certern extent reflects one's desire to excel.

Secondly, CFA Program is not all about knowledge but ethical standards as well, without which your work is merely craft but not profession.

Last but certernly not least, studying in the program improves one's competency in many ways. Yourself is a felicitous example, if you have dedicated a little time in the program, you should have done better with your english, much much better I believe. [em04]

nice rationing and good thinking!

不考相当于在底部忍不住了走人,错过大行情...

只有不景气的时候才有条件养精蓄锐...

再不济地说,跑3000米跑了2/3,之前的辛苦难道就白费了?

考的就是毅力,不是智商~~~不管怎样,该干吗还干吗~~

我覺得要不要繼續讀下去,是在乎你自己讀CFA的目的.

如果你當初為了進投行而讀CFA,CFA用途可能真的不大.如果你想增長智識,或裝備好自己,我覺得CFA不錯.

我自己做稅的,想轉去做金融,CFA似乎用途不大,除非我願意重新由底做起.

但CFA學了,智識就是你自己的,別人可以把你的錢槍光,但唯獨智識,沒人能槍.說不定有一天,你會用得上.例如: 我老闆之前遇到一個客,除了問稅務建議,還問怎樣value一間公司.他知道我學CFA,所以CALL我上去meeting room,和客解釋.當然,我們會要客戶去尋求qualified professional的建議.Anyway,那一刻,我的智識用到了.

有一些東西,要看長遠的,今天沒用不等於以後沒用.東西懂多一點,do you no harm.You must be well equipped before any opportunity comes to you. 有機會,沒預備好,有什麼用?

現在還年青,有能力讀,當然多讀一點. [em07]

Let me contribute one reason why employer may prefer candidates with CFA level 2. 

There are hundreds of graduate schools in China offered an MA Finance relative degree.

The education quality differs one by one. CFA Level 2 could at least tell the employer

the candidate is well knowledged as an MS Finance degree holder.   

But,one ONLY has CFA Level 2 might still fail in job market.

totally agree with you.
