<p>Hi... I'm a Jr. in college Finance major - marketing/advertising minor. I'm somewhat interested in pursuing a career in Finance but i'm not sold yet. I understand the CFA is a prominent designation on both the buy and sell side but can be a very difficult to achieve. </p>
<p>The problem is I also have interests in marketing and I'm just not sure what I want to do after graduation. I know there is plenty of time to figure it out but I was curious if anyone has any perspective on the CFA vs. a good MBA program. </p>
<p>Is the CFA respected outside of financial services? Thanks and Happy New Year!</p>
