Question:
If they were both from the same standard institution. Is either of them regarded as a better qualification than the other in the financial world? I ultimately want to be a cfp. However, I do want to do an advanced degree (I know I don't really need to with the cfp, but if I have an advanced degree, it helps me secure a US greencard).
At the moment I am looking at advanced degree courses and I was just wondering if it was respected more to have an MBA or an Msc in the financial planning world.. or if it really does not make a difference qualification wise.? Thanks.
Answer:
It doesnt as far as qualification is concerned.
But you get to take more finance courses in ur MS, with MBA they will stuff ur syllabus with useless courses like marketing, economics etc. which u wont eventually ever use. Plus an MS is usually a much shorter course, hence much cheaper. So if u want to be a CFP eventually , do ur MS and choose finance course that are more similar to the CFP curriculm.
Helps?
