My point was that its highly competitive and having either a CFA or MBA would get you level with the competition for most well paying jobs on the street so you could actually enjoy living in NYC.

come on man. I know what a CFA is. I watched my sr partner struggle on level 2 two yrs in a row before passing level 3 and finally getting that obnoxiously large certification framed on his wall. I get that it makes anyone look much better. If I could pick between the two, I'd rather have a CFA than an MBA because it's probably a more distinctive point in many circles. It's just not completely in line with what I may end up wanting to do. I'm not about to burn 3 yrs of my life killing myself over it.
