hey guys,
i’m a pretty well renowned in my area for fashion and i’m trying to break into finance with my expertise to follow companies that focus on luxury goods. I’ve been working at Macys for about 5 years now in the mens department.
i never went to college and after doing a cost-benefit analysis using a table in microsoft publisher ive found that the CFA would be cheaper and easier for me to make the transition. i always did better studying on my own rather than in the classroom which helped in my graduating with a B average.
my concern is trying to start the program this december because im trying to get full-time. they say im next in line. with the holiday season our revenue skyrockets and im expected to put in about 45 hours a week. this is another reason i want to get into finance because retail hours are overwhelming and i need a break.
should i start now or wait til june?
 
If you can commit 300 + hours starting now, then ride on and Good luck.
 
If you want to switch to finance because you think the hours are better, you are so lost buddy.
 
You need a bachelors degree or about to finish to be in the program. You trollin?

Ok, I’m confused. Two weeks ago you told us that you worked at a retail brokerage. Now you work in the mens department at Macy’s and you’re trying to break in to finance?
Plus, what fball said: If you never went to college and aren’t working in finance, then the CFAI wouldn’t have let you register for the L1 exam.
 
Man, you guys are so gullible. I hope none of you are sell side analysts….
