study leave...wtf?

I ll be working till 5 o clock on friday , and then start driving to NY, I am in PA
i am jealous man
 
yeah wtf. i used up 4 of my personal vacation days to study. i would much rather have used only 2 and have the company match the other 2.
 
Hi guys,

Well I will be taking 3 weeks off from mid dec to beginning of Janauary and used my holidays for study. I am planning to do a 10 hrs study each day for LI June 09. I am bit sad since I am sacrificing my holidays for study. I was supposed to go to San Francisco, LA and Las vegas in dec for folidays. I guess this can wait. After that, I will take 1 month off in march for studying again. Hope all these will be enough. I am now waiting for my Stalla notes to arrive while reading CFAI books.

Cheer up guys
 
Acutally that sounds rather genrious you should be thanking him for that offer. You;ve got a long way to go from level I to charter so thank your boss.... he doesn't need to give you any time off

Apart from the 1 day of study leave per year, the rest is taken from my holiday leave. Be thankful, ESPECIALLY if you're going for this on your own volition. It's a good investment for the future, no?
 
My employer gave me unlimited time off work to study for the December exam. I was laid off.

I suppose I now have absolutely no excuse not to pass this thing. Nothing like a little added pressure...
 
Ouch, sorry to hear that, man. Yet another reason to pass with flying colors I suppose.
