Why bother with CFA /CPA or MBA? It is not what you have behind your name, what you have studied. But it is all about who you know? How good looking you are? What type of work attitude you have? And if you are born under a lucky star? These will get you far in your career and salary packages.
If you are ugly, even with a CPA, CFA, BA, MBA, MSc, PhD will not help you.
If you have poor work attitude (i.e. lazy, show-off, no emotional intelligence, going to work late, a 9-5 politician and gossiper), words will go around and you will not go anywhere.
Finally, its all about WHO you know. If you go to night-spot and mix with drunks, all you get are people who party, yes they have a life, but goaless in life. So go out and mix with high society people.

Punit,

You are right!

However, we live in a gullible world in which even the most socialize group of people tend to prefer to be associated with others who has MONEY or KNOWLEDGE. Luck is when you have BOTH.

Hi Punit

That is the wierdest thing i have heard. May be i got it wrong. You are trying to say that if you are good looking, sociable you would be more successful in life as compared to some one who is unqualified and not so good looking. I am sorry but i do not endorse that view point.

If that was the case you could have one of the film stars heading GoldmanSacchs or KPMG.

Thanks

Jaan
