Prudent ? No. Quitting one's job to become unemployed is never prudent.

Wrong ? No. What's wrong is to sit there being unhappy.

From what I saw, it looked rather easy and is really a second- tier accounting qualification (below CA).
However, I believe in some jurisdictions it allows you to audit, while the CFA doesn't allow anything.
