Agreed, but this is like this in every society. I pledged a frat in 1995 and got hazed. Now, the pledges can barely be made to do pushups or squats. I graduated with a MBA with kids straight from undergrad who had no business at all being in business school since they’ve never actually, you know, worked in a business at all. You’re always going to have those that might not be completely deserving of something the way we look at it.
Hell, there used to be 80% passing rates for this thing way back when. Regardless, if you passed all 3 exams, that does speak to something, even if your work experience isn’t completely eligible.
All you can do is hope people actually hiring CFA charterholders can tell the difference and separate the men from the boys.
