Best Career Path

Hello all

Just joined WSO and am looking for a wee bit of career advice.

I am currently completing my post graduate Honours degree in Accounting Sciences. After this I will look at doing either the Chartered Accountant or CFA designation, before moving to New York.

I am obsessed with trading equities and the such, and would therefore look at working for a HF.

Could anyone please advise me if that would be the best career path and of what the relevant salaries and bonuses are?
