计算机专业的想考CFA,应该从哪里入手?
发现计算机行业真的不喜欢,一点热情都没有,反而对投资、金融、股票充满了兴趣,想从考CFA做起,希望不吝赐教,该看什么书,从哪里看起?
请手下留情,绝不是这山望着那山高,绝不是一时冲动,只是发现自己真的喜欢
没有任何经济方面的基础,请楼主给的建议最好系统一些,免得考试过了又是什么也不知道了。。。
谢谢
如果这位同学仍然是在校的学生,建议仍然以学好本身的专业课为前提。计算机专业对金融领域来说,特别是高端的职业是必须要掌握的,就是你将来从事金融行业,也需要用到这方面的知识。而且就是金融企业去学校里招聘,肯定也要求专业知识强的。
既然从CFA做起,那么其自身已经是很系统的金融学体系的知识了。至于其他的,有空的时候可以博览群书,特别是有关金融投资方面的,小说也好,传记也罢,都会增加你对这个行业的认识。
感谢楼主的热心解答,马上就要毕业了,而且年纪一大把了,突然发现自己真正喜欢的是金融行业,可是看到了Morgan Stanley的Quantitative Finance Program的时候,连去申请的勇气都没有……。看看职位要求,大脑一片空白了,C++就没编过,Matlab, R, SAS 知道是做什么的,从来不用。PhD in Computer Science,是我唯一符合的要求,我的同学们首选的职业是去教书。楼主,我毕业了只能找一份金融行业无关的工作干着,考CFA,补C++,补Matlab, R, SAS ,我还有机会吗?我还能从事真心喜欢的金融行业吗?请指点一条明路,为了梦想而不断努力,还是认清现实,……
