My interest have changed towards finance.So Ive taken the initial step to sit for CFA lev 1 exam coming Dec to gain some banking/finance knowledge

Just a few questions to clarify??
1) After passing Level 1 what are my chances of getting a job in finace side??
2) main reason for doing CFA is to get in to MFE programme offered by NTU.what are my chances of getting admitted in to a university MFE programme with CFA Level 1 + Parttime engineering degree ??
3) Hw long should I reserve for CFA study preparation??? (My math is really good)(Finance zero-done fair bit of accounting during high school)
4)Which area in finance should I look forward to work in??

Thanks in advace
I know a few better-prepared finance people fail the CFA. To be painfully honest you sound unprepared and ill-informed. So I am not sure of you making it. Apologies if I am too frank.
