Goggles has been out of work for almost a year. He took the CFA level one exam in December and will find out the results of that exam on Wednesday.
I’m fucking nervous as balls, you guys.
If he passed, this means that a lot of job prospects will open up for him. It means that he would have a legit shot at an entry level analyst job at a hedge fund or mutual fund company, which is what he’d love to do. It means that his job search just got a whole lot easier.
If he failed, it means that he wasted six months of devoting himself to studying and dropped a couple thousand dollars on what turned out to be a failure. We’re not married so I guess if stuff gets much worse, I can just leave, but I don’t want to. My heart breaks for him. I want for him to pass this test so badly. He can take the test again in June, but by that time, his unemployment benefits will have run out and he may have to move back to Miami. I honestly don’t know that I’d want our relationship to continue if that happens.
I’m trying not to talk to him about this because I know that he’s also nervous and I don’t want him to get more nervous, because at this point, there’s nothing that he can do.
Ugh. My knotty stomach.
