what the fuck is knpd? if that is a stock pick and you think that is an attractive point to display to employers, you should be re-evaluating your resume.

if you don't have education in accounting or finance (i was an economics undergrad but a MSF) you are probably going to have a bad time. if you don't have a demanding quantitative educational background you are going to have a bad time. if you have a wife or other demanding social commitments outside of work, you are going to have a bad time.

and by "bad time", I mean it's going to be really tough to finish it (stats say you won't). you would probably learn some things but dude >>1483484 it's likely going to be stressful and a waste of your time to start it

1. Take the CIFC to get licensed to sell mutual funds for a dealer
2. Take the CSC to be able to sell stocks, bonds, futures etc
3. Take steps towards getting your CFP designation

The CIFC has no relative work experience, but the CSC does. Could relative work experience be anything? How easy is it to get around that?

Thanks for the replies. I live in St.Catharines and have been hunting for work related to my degree the entire time I've been here, even volunteer stuff, and nothing has popped up.

if you want to get into investment management side, then cfa is useful.

regular bankers don't need cfa.
