      I realize this is an older post, but my take is that I guess your “main” job in life is to be happy, so you actually promoted yourself from that perspective. Work never ends, there will always be a job waiting for you. As for your CV, well, you can always be a “consultant”, no?

        A CFA is much more focused than an MBA. With a CFA you will mostly be working in the investment/finance fields maybe in a marketing/sales role or as a junior analyst to start. With an MBA almost any industry is open to you. As for cost, the CFA is a fraction of what an MBA costs these days. Rotman in Toronto wants almost a $100K for their 2 year MBA! Ouch! If you have always been interested in investments/stock market, then the CFA is your ticket.
