CFA®, CFP, FRM, CERA, which certificate should I go for?

There are just so many certificates for finance-oriented jobs out there. How should I go about finding out which certification I should go for?

Right now, I really don't know much about each of them. I am just a math major with a concentration in economics.

 

First you need to figure out what you want to do. Then research the designations (they aren't certificates) and find which one is most applicable to the area you want to be in.

 
JuniorAssKisser:
Do you speak any Asian language? if not, forget about it

Yes, i speak Urdu/Hindi (Language spoken in Pakistan & India).

I am not going to forget it, if i have to learn basic chinese level in 1 year, i willo do it! ;)

But first i need to know what kind of certificates are recognised in Asia.

Thank you very much!
