Passed three levels at first attempts before 23

IMO I think that it’s much more challenging for those guys who prepare for the exam while have to work full-time than for under/graduate students.
Yes, definitely it is.

You really don’t have the slightest clue what an MSc in Economics is right?

Well I just wrote I never studied Economics in school, so you enlighten me buddy. This is what I hear from my colleagues that actually did study Economics..

Your colleagues didnt actually study Economics if it wasnt quantitative…a real Economics program is math heavy, most should and would double major in mathematics.

Sounds like you won’t be a CFA Charterholder for quite some time, JKNash. Experience comes with maturity…
But look at things on the bright side – at least you can still show “CFA Passed Level III” just below your screen name on this forum (…like a few others).

tjhis. somebody fresh out of school without other responsbilities should of course have an easier time to pass the tests. I dont get why you are bragging.

Then it’s different in different countries I guess. I grew up in Sweden, of course some people could choose to read up extra on math (double major) but that’s exactly what I meant that OP should have done.
Just as an example of what is math heavy as you see it. Deriving the Black & Scholes formula from integrals and actually understanding the maths behind those integrals.

And even more challenging to work full-time, prpe the exam and balance the family. It just gets harder to do it as you get older and pick up responsibiliites.

come on guys, cut him some slack
we have all been young and cocky at our achievements.
‘chinaman’ ?? is that the best you can do? being racist only because the kid is showing off?
we all have our own paths to walk through, no one is necessarily superior than another… let it be.
I am chinese too. oh or should I call myself a chinawoman.. and my parents never forced me to do anything.. so shake off your stereotype please, you are more intelligent than this..

I agree Camille, chinaman comments are uncalled for. But on the other hand I think its not really a bad thing being told off be elders when you are being (too) cocky.
