Career path - Accountant at Johnson and Johnson

Hello monkeys! Could I get an advice for my future career path?

I've just started working as an accountant in Johnson & Jonhson, pretty young (just turned 21) But I really want to get into area of investment banking. Should I get a CFA or MSF?

Cheers:)

All traditional routes are off the table for you at this point.

Top MSF or MBA programs could help. CFA not so much, even if you want to break into some sort of investment analysis role it won't help as much as grad school.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
