Just came across an interesting article for us CFA / MBA candidates - thoughts?http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/7cae38c2-e811-11e3-b923-00144feabdc0.html

I think it is spot on! The CFA is the MBA for the financial space. However, speaking from experience, there is value in having a masters in business in this field. I work in advisory and I can certainly note a difference in how quickly I understand our client's business, comp. landscape, etc. At always, it comes down to the individual's career and passion in determining if an MBA or CFA is necessary.
