Longterm you may want to do both! The CFA is a terrific credential. I have an MBA. I wish I'd also done the CFA because I think it provides a rigorous discipline on how to analyze and value companies and other assets, but the MBA taught more broadly how to run businesses. They both have merit and are terrific credentials.

I really think you can never have too much education. Whether you have it in formal degrees and certifications or just through a lifelong learning process. If you don't have a thirst for knowledge you are not going to be successful. The world is changing quicker and quicker, you either have to embrace change or change is going to relegate you to the dustbin of history.

The Volcker rule is good - separating out risk from major lending institutions but I would have preferred that they break up the big banks. If you are too big to fail, you are simply too big. The US also needs to grow a set of b-lls on the antitrust front. We broke up AT&T and it spawned a revolution in telephony/mobile communications. Big business has gotten too big.

Actually, I think it's going in the opposite direction.
