it's worth it if you want to be an accountant

the average salary for a CPA in 2015 is roughly $60k. you decide

CFA is the shit.

what about in terms of having it as an extra designation, something to make you stand out?Would it go well with say, a BBA?

my bro got a CFA - like 3 very difficult tests to get it.

i think it just means its harder to fire you because hedge funds are supposed to have them or something

Cpa is one of the biggest memes

There's a reason why they come to your first year uni classes and shill hard about how 'accountants rule the world'

My friend got CA (before cpa era) and got an entry leve job at EY. She got paid 45k.

Any 'professional designation' is a meme. You pay $$$$$ just so that you can add letters to your name. Don't fall for it. It's about who you know, now what you know.

CPA not CFA

CPA, CFA, MBA... All of these things you go for after you get a job. The company will usually pay for it and you will receive a bump in your wage for being certified.

Is this worth it at all if I'm not planning on going into finance?

>is it worth it?

Like everything in accounting, it depends.
