One of my favorite stories is a friend of mine being introduced as having CLU, ChFC, CFP, CFA
Thats easily 5 to 7 years worth of study if not more. CFA is extremely difficult I have heard.

He may not have thought designations were the end all but he had them and was good at what he did.
Exactly. And with that amount of industry education you better believe he learned something from it and it has helped his practice.
I know a guy who is a CFP, ChFC, & CLU, but he only uses the CFP behind his name. He said no one ever has a clue what the other two are, and showing people you have done the work for one is more than enough. He didnt want them for the title, he wanted them for the knowledge... he does over $200k in just life premium a year.
