I have the same question. I got the MFE offer from NUS yesterday. I am certainly perfered NUS progrm because it is much cheaper and i am currently unemployed in Singpaore. I am interested in the area and planed to take the CFA exam and the FRM exam recently. However, To pursue the degree is a big investment including time and money. I am worried about whether, when and how I could find a better job after I completed the MFE progrm. I also want to know how much can I be paid in the arena? Please give me some information! Thanks! By the way, I decided to take the 2005 FRM exam. But the material is too expensive - 399 US dollar including notes and testbank. If your guys also want to take the exam, please inform me. perhaps, We can share the costs and prepare the exam together. Best wishs,
