        Maybe the point is that the CFA Institute is a society for full-time investment professionals…?

        I get your point, but I think viewing from a society perspective – here’s the CFA Institute’s mission and vision:

        Mission Statement
        To lead the investment profession globally by promoting the highest standards of ethics, education, and professional excellence for the ultimate benefit of society.

        Vision
        We aspire to a CFA Institute that:

        • Serves all finance professionals seeking education, knowledge, professional development, connection, or inspiration.
        • Leads the investment profession’s thinking in the areas of ethics, capital market integrity, and excellence of practice.

        Based on that I can see how CFA Institute prefers to keep it full-time only.

        Good point. I always assumed that it was to avoid situations where someone might be working one day a week for four years…obviously this shouldn’t count as it would be less than a year of full time employment.
