Would you say doing a CFA, etc will be better than going for such a course or the reverse is true ?

When I was younger, I did 2 levels of CFA. I wouldn't say it's entirely useless or useful. It's just like a degree - employers want to know if you are able to learn things well and excel under stressful conditions like examinations.
But, having said that, education can only bring you to a certain point. And sadly, at that certain point, you are on par with many many others. To differentiate yourself, a lot of what you need is common sense, analytical skill, experience and definitely some luck.
Honestly, if you ask me, you don't need degrees or CFA to succeed in anything.
