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
