Which way is CFA test attendance trending? groupon, google, attendance, anything, college

Couldnt find anything recent about what people thought June 2011 attendance would be year over year, so what do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure I read that it spiked in 09 and 10 which would make sense. I'm wondering if enough time or bad press has happened to discourage a lot of college grads/young profesionals to shift their focus away from finance and back to the current glamorious fields like tech and google, groupon, and all those type of firms now that tech has matured.

What are your guys opinions short term with June/Dec L1 since L1 is the leading indicator of the three and also what do you think the intermediate term trend is over 2-5 yrs. I mainly want to know about North America and Europe because I am not really sure what to make of the explosive CFA growth in india and asia and its sustainability long term.

Eh, I would guess that there would be a short term drop due to the reasons that you mentioned. Long term trend would probably still be upwards sloping though.
