Dear llade,

I think the CFA programme more than repays the expense. For some, it does over a long time. For others (like me) it does over a short time (few months after getting the charter, I did a job for about 3 nights that paid me what it cost to write all the exams. I have had many more of such payments over the years). That is just talking about recovering the cost of writing the exams. The more important thing is what it does for your career. The CFA charter gives you instant recognition amongst finance people. For instance, when I look at a charterholder, I see someone who is hardworking, intelligent, and tenacious. That must surely count in job interviews, promotion considerations, etc. The knowledge you gain from the CFA programme is so much that you can hardly be in a place where finance, economics, management, corporate governance, accounting, etc are being discussed, and not dominate the discussion. You just make contributions to the discourse and people wonder how come you know so much.

A mistake people make is to expect the charter to get them instant cash or promotion at work. This may or may not happen. However, always remember that you can create cash with the knowledge you have. Do you know that derivatives are presently not traded in Nigeria? Do you also know that the exchanges want to launch them this year? Someone has to create the products that will be traded in the derivatives market. Why can't that person be you? Do you know we do not have enough rating agencies? Or investment research houses? Or data company like Bloomberg? Or good financial reporters and presenters for the media? I could go on all day. The thing is that you must think outside your present job. You must ask yourself which of the numerous opportunities you would like to pursue.

Finally, who says you cannot check out of the country with your charter? You hold a globally-recognized qualification, so why not? I have been fortunate to visit may countries of the world, and have seen the recognition my charter gives me. Of all my qualifications, the CFA has given me the most benefit. So, don't despair. Write that L3, get your charter, and begin to flenjor

Then consider including a basement in ur house. Am a contemporary engineer who likes innovative design. If u attach a basement. D super structure can still follow similar designs of other estates around, whiled substructure gives u all d parking space u need. Still we can do the design for u

With d expense and difficulty of d CFA exam, what is really its worth in Nigeria like prospects of securing a good paying job, ability to be an entrepreneur or getting a gud retirement. Am asking cos finishing d 3 levels with d current exchange rate will gulp about N1. 5m and it has been d most expensive exam i have written. L1 and 2 have cost me about N1m.

OK. Normal small plot in Lagos/Ogun/Oyo is like 450sqm (50x100ft or 15x30m) so that plot is kind of small.
You may want to do 4 Units of 2 bedrooms (2=Ground Floor & 2=First Floor) so as to have ample parking space.
More reason I have always prefer 60x120ft (18x36m) plot size.

That's like half a plot by Lagos standard. 300sqm won't be able to accommodate the building with adequate parking lot for d occupants.
I suggest u redesign the building. U can make the ground floor a clear open space, while u add additional floor to it. This will make the whole ground floor space a parking lot or play ground for kids. U can contact me for the structural design of the redesigned building. Just PM me and I shall reply u.

Forget about the square meters. What is the dimension of the land... that will be more useful.
