My Road to CFA: an Introduction
Saturday, July 14, 2007
Last night, I started to toy with the idea of creating a blog about my own road to CFA.
The reason is quite simple. If you are a candidate of CFA, you will know. CFA is an exam in which the scope is unimaginably large and so difficult. When you finish reading the material for one study session and read another, soon you will forget about the study session you have read before. I started to toy with the idea of blogging my progress of studying partly because this is a medium or platform for me to record my thoughts on the material, and also it will serves as a place for me to make notes for myself. Also, it would serve as a place that readers and I can discuss.
Overall I find it not a bad idea to start, so I now start.
Perhaps you would like to know who I am. I am a fresh graduate from one of the top University in Hong Kong, I am a social science student. It would be funny that I, as a social science, would take CFA exam. Anyway, I have taken it, for learning more knowledge on finance, and for gaining qualification for me to switch to finance industry. I hope this blog will keep running in the future, so that readers and I can share not only about CFA, but also on various topics in finance, investment, and perhaps about life too.
So this is a short introduction.

Good luck!
I understand what it is. My first degree is in English literature and my master degree in piano performance. I did the CFA with no finance background. Lucky enough to get it done in 3 years.

really. it's not easy to make a decision to switch from Social Science to CFA. For me, i switched from Computing to CFA. Because i really want to. That's all. Perhaps, determination, commitment and discipline will get us through till the end?
