CFA or CFM (Can Find Money)?

Reflecting on an article Yoke Yong sent earlier to me on how CFA is now chic again in a recession. So what if 128600, took the exam, and approximately some 40% x 40% x 40% (3 levels) i.e. 8230 new CFAs enter the market every year?

A professional certification is just that – a prove of quality, excellence, dedication. By the way money was earned in wall street, money cannot be earned with this cert. In fact, I’d argue that the people who earn the most money in history has no cert. A professional is a specialization that humanity needs to become ever more productive as a collective by focusing on a specific skill set, while staying abreast with the wild and confusing world out there, which is known to some as being a T-shape individual. If you lost your income and attribute it to the lack of certification, then I think there needs to be a rethinking of what exactly are you missing – it might be knowledge and training, but maybe it’s just greed, and a CFA certainly does not quench that thirst.
