In Reply To: you should finish it in 3 years. there are only 3 tests. with a modicum of intelligence, experience, and effort you should have no problem. it is however a meaningful time commitment.
Message: I posted the No Way message. I agree with the previous poster. Sorry about that, I assumed you meant you were going to be an IB analyst (which demonstrates why assumptions are dangerous). It will be a serious time commitment for you, but it's not rocket science. If you're going to have weekends, by all means, go for it. Extra credentials never hurt, give you more employment options, and if you're intellectually curious, provide a means to continue learning (i.e. personal utility). If you do go back to business school, the knowledge gained will also be very helpful, but you might find some of the required accounting and finance courses rather boring and rudimentary. 2 more cents.
