Decisions Decisions - CFA® v Certificates
I have come to the point in my life where I know what I want career wise. After working in Technology department at an asset manager and then working with the Quant team I have learned a lot about what I want.
I know I am not a big enough fan of quant to try to get my PhD especially if you consider all the undergrad and graduate classes I would have to take. I wouldn't be out of school until I am 40.
I however am a huge fan of the business subjects (corp finance, econ, accounting, real estate etc). I am currently waiting on the CFA®
level I results. I was also looking into taking classes when I have time.
I found these graduate certificate programs at Harvard Extension. Obviously not the real Harvard but would these be worth the cost?

My employer would pay for anything in the Business section that could be related to FI/Equity asset management.
Any thoughts on this? Also could just slowly go thru the process of getting my undergrad degree could easily take 6 years and might create time conflicts at some point.
