Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)

[vipon]

Hey.

I am just graduating university (in May) with a finance degree and am having a bit if difficulty finding a job. I feel that although i have a couple certifications, im lacking job experience (played poker for previous two summers).

I was thinking of doing my CFA starting in the New Year. My worry is that I will not be capable of passing all three exams, as I have heard its VERY difficult. I have heard it has a 30% pass rate and I would imagine that only v. intelligent and educated people attempt it.

Being a pessimist/realist, I was wondering if there is any value in doing the exam if I only expect to pass the first one or two.

I want to go into Wealth Management/Derivaties trading..

thoughts ideas?
Thanks
