Failed it, but then passed it

Life changed a lot over the last couple years. I failed the second CFA in 2010. I was on a weird sleep schedule, my mind was kind of a mess, and I failed it. I had to go through all that crap again, and then I passed it in 2011. Level 3 will be the next step, but it will have to wait. I'm doing an MBA at University of Toronto now, so once that's done, it will be time for round three. Between the two CFA levels, and the completed MBA, I'm hoping I'll be able to get a decent job in 2013 (graduation year). Just to live exactly the same way I did before the MBA, I will need to make an additional $20,000 per year (to cover debt repayments). If it doesn't happen, I'm basically completely screwed. Finding work in Finance is so hard if you're not well connected... Oh, how I wish mommy and daddy owned a hedge fund...
