CFA VS GRE: WHICH WOULD BE BETTER

HI EVERYONE: I AM CURRENTLY STUDYING FOR THE GRE FOR THE 3RD TIME. I SCREWED UP THE FIRST 2 TIMES. MY MATH ABILITY IS GOOD BUT I FEEL LIKE CFA VS GRE ARE WAY DIFFERENT IN MATHEMATICAL TERMS. I AM APPLYING FOR MY MS FINANCE DEGREE. HOWEVER, WOULD AN MS IN FINANCE BE WORTH IT OR SHOULD I JUST GO FOR THE CFA? I LOVE FINANCE, LOVE FOLLOWING THE MARKET, HIGHLY INVESTED IN A MAJORITY OF EQUITIES. MY FUTURE WOULD BE IN Asset Management, IB, OR VC. I WORK AT A SMALL PAY DAY LOAN COMPANY IN AN OPERATIONAL ROLE WHICH I AM TRYING TO GET OUT AND GET INTO THE IB, AM, INVESTING WORLD. ANY TIPS ABOUT CFA VS GRE AND GETTING YOUR FEET WET IN THOSE TYPES OF INDUSTRIES WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP. THANKS.
