<p>I'm not a finance major, because I thought (and rightly so) that most kids in undergrad b-school are anti-intellectual d-bags. I'm almost done with my economics core requirements, and I've taken mostly math courses as electives. </p>
<p>Anyhow, I've recently decided I really want to be a personal financial advisor for individual investors, particularly U.S./Canadian cross-border small business owners. </p>
<p>Apparently, you can self-study for the CFA, and take the exam in the end of june of next year. Is that doable by simply taking some accounting/finance courses as spare electives? How hard is it?</p>
