I'm cranky most of the time.
This sort of related, and I'm mostly just curious but does the CFA mean anything more than "you must be this tall to ride this attraction?" I'm looking at the coursework as a way to round out my understanding of banking and investments, but have absolutely no desire to be an analyst. Just wondering if it's worth the money to get the certification if you don't care about a job where it's a pre-req.

Woohoo, just got accepted into the part time program at the University of Iowa (not a top 10 school, I know, but it's solidely ranked and work is paying the whole bill other than textbooks). Any evening/weekend MBA students have any words of wisdom for the next few years of my life?

Not a student but the networking/connections made in an MBA program are at least as important as the coursework. Don't be a wallflower, attend study groups even if you don't need them and get to know the advisers well.
