<p>I have a 65. I think you must be 21. It’s a waist of time anyway if you don’t have a job because it expires in 2 years if you don’t practice.</p>

<p>If you manage to get hires they wouldn’t let you do any more than answer call and schedule appointments. You’re too young and, really, they want college graduates. In college you learn much more about critical thinking and analysis than you did in H.S., which is needed for giving investment advice.</p>

<p>You don’t need a sponsor for the 65.</p>

<p>But theoretically taking it would be allowed? For non-job related reasons? I was thinking about taking it to demonstrate my love of finance to colleges =P</p>

<p>Also as a way to demonstrate to them that my self-study in finance was sucessful.</p>

<p>It’s not really that good for self study in finance. It’s just a summary of related laws, economics, and financial theories. You have to either take finance in school or get on the job training to learn anything worthwhile and to really understand what is going on in the markets.</p>

<p>It does show self initiative and that your are truly interested. It’s a horrible exam. Everything is testable, and the study materials only cover enough to pass, if the exam tests what they cover. </p>

<p>Have fun! :)</p>
