Don't get into CFA headache right now.
Do you remember marginal utility theory?
:)
That's the exact example of the situation with licenses. You can hit two max. And that's it.
Each exam and certification means SPECIALIZATION and time, money, effort.
There's only one thing that you can try later down the road - TOP MBA program.
The rest of the stuff - I'd say is useless as it is not connected with your specialization.
Certifications is NOT a "collection" it's an achievement and.... commodity partially.
Plus each of them requires specific experience requirements.
Work heavily via IMA, may be they'll give you some hints. Job market is really crappy, just crappy. Be patient.
It's a real competition!
Talk to you later

Yeah, you are right. The reason I choose CFA is I like finance. And I know going to finance field, say project manager, would be very challenging and the rewards are really attractive.
How US people think of CMA? seattle office, that guy asked me what is CMA? I am thinking if headhunters don't know CMA, how do I position myself in the market? Right now, I present me as financial accountant combined with managerial accounting expertise. I ask one CMA canada who told me that in USA, CMA is far above CPA. But seattle office staff doesn't know CMA. How do I explain this?
And IMA web site seems too unprofessional comparing to AICPA. Hmmm... Confused.
Thanks for your help. Where are you? I am in vancouver BC.
