Hello,

I need an advice about various finance related courses

I have done B.Tech and have 3 years of experience

I have interest in finance and would like to know which of

CA, CFA , Actuary, ICWAI

What are approximate cost of study , duration, level and future average salary

and whether it's possible to have independent free lancing in all of these courses after study ?
