    "When a person sets on a journey of growth, there is always that awkward stage where they don't fit in with the old friends, but haven't found like minded new friends."
    Heard this quote recently, thought it would resonate with you (although its been a year since you made this video)

    Having a Finance Masters before taking your CFA exams may make learning the content easier as much of it is covered in Masters studies. However, if one has attained their CFA before taking a Finance Masters, it is not worth the time, effort and money to attain a Masters degree.
