Hey guys, Just interested to see what kind of times some of you achieved your diploma or anything similar in. A lot of the correspondence online diplomas these days are open book/multichoice exams. I was talking to a guy the other day who said he got his financial planning diploma in 2 months while working fulltime and raising 3 kids. Anyone got any similar stories?
you get what you pay. You can buy a diploma and have it sent to your inbox right after they processed your credit card.
It depends what kind of degree you are talking about. While in school I had my first kid, worked full time, and will be finishing up my finance degree next semester. It will take me 5 years from when I started. I could have done it faster but had lots of scheduling issues. They only offered a couple night classes per semester that I needed so that really slowed down the process.
I completed a post-master executive program in finance & control in 2,5 years, for which the nominal duration was 3 years, while working full-time in a senior management position, commuting 2-3 hours a day and going through a divorce. Studied four evenings a week and every sunday, looked like a total zombie according to friends. One year after graduation I quit and took up trading.
Wow that sounds like a valuable degree. "Post master executive" and "senior management position" ...and then unemployed day trader. But then we are not allowed to call someone a "secretary" anymore ...it is a "senior executive assistant" . So much bullshit...so few truths.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder not to divulge anything personal or professional on a public message board.
No problem to divulge something as long as you can deal with others commenting on it. I studied comp finance at CMU

One is in a "senior management position" (your wording), then joins a "post-master executive program" (any more superlatives?), and then you waste the tens if not hundreds of thousands and become a day trader? Am I seeing bullshit where there is not? Then I sincerely apologize...but comments such as yours explain everything I need to know to understand why so many lose in trading. Any an all coherence, logic, determination is missing/lacking.
