Careers With CFA? available, commercial, investment, interested

sabaruch

Hi,

I'm confused about what careers are available to CFAs, so I am hoping that someone can clue me in on that? Some people have claimed that CFA is basically just for securities analysis and is useless for banking (investment banking and commercial/corp banking), corporate finance, private equity, etc while others say that it is applicable to any field. Personally, I'm more interested in corporate finance or PE, so would getting the CFA be a waste of time for me and should I just aim for an MBA, or what would you recommend?

Thanks!

Bank Teller, Call Center Associate, Mowing Grass, etc. Due to this economic downturn, the CFA is now a good segway into just about anything.
