Is the CFA L1 curriculum interesting (On a scale of 1 - 10)

For those that have gone through the L1 curriculum, how would you rate the interest quotient for the L1 curriculum.

Is it terribly boring to get through, moderately boring or interesting like math?

Any logical computation would be interesting...while any voluminous cramming would be boring IMO.

What do you think?

I actually give quant a 10. Learned a lot, remembered a lot that I had forgotten, and generally found it interesting.
I like the connectedness of math. A good example was finding out why the terms in variance are squared, skewness cubed, and kurtosis raised to the 4th power (although the reason why is not actually in the text, I never would have looked it up if I hadn't gone through it).

As for the rest, I found PM, FI and econ interesting. The rest, not so much (esp FRA).

Thanks for sharing people.
How about the job profile of a Financial Analyst? ( The job one would take up after completing CFA)
Is it mostly drudgery on steroids and big bucks, or is it interesting, intellectually stimulating?
