@cfageist

Nothing, if you passed all three levels and obtained the charter, you succeeded at life.

When you complete your CFA, you should start your own hedge fund _ rock band _. That’s when the big buck start rolling in.

Now we’re talking really big bucks.

In my experience, those who are hoping a Charter will help them move into Investment Management are going to be very disappointed.

You’ll still be washing lettuce.

Life is all about hope. But it helps to be prepared.

Do you mean what would you like to do after completing the CFA? Because none of that is just going to happen.

“Oh, I’m going to start my own VC firm. What’s that? I need millions of dollars in capital? But I have my CFA.”

Not all VC firms started with millions of Dollars. Remember there are partners as well. You can have a start up and get funding from investors.

Yes, all VC firms have to - by definition - start with a boatload of capital. You’re right, however, that you can get the dollars by bringing in partners. My point stands though. No one is suddenly going to give you a ton a cash simply because you passed three tests. If you have those sorts of friends now, you really don’t need the CFA.

Better check with Cat Fanciers’ Association about font size, colour, etc., etc. It will likely have to be smaller than your butt too!
