All great comments. Undoubtedly the CFA will increase your career potential, is often expected for more senior positions and certainly increases your knowledge about investments. I too came from a non-target and am surprised to see “free time” mentioned so much during you guys college years. My senior year I was working 20-25 hours a week, taking a normal course-load and also studying for the CFA. I had very, very little time to network or apply for jobs etc. which is why I feel, at the beginning, waiting a year or two will not hurt you. 250 hours spent networking, job hunting etc. will still yield IMO better results than being a candidate with only a chance of passing and spending just 25 hours on networking. Also, I know many employers who allow you to study at work or during down time. I also feel your schedule after college is more predictable and therefore easier to plan time to study. In any event, do what’s best for you, as we all come from unique situations. Best!
