[Hello2016]

Due to my major in Statistics, I do not have enough accounting units to sit for the CPA. In the future, I might take the CPA I might not. That is why I want to take the CMA to have something put on my resume and enhance my accounting knowledge, but some of my friends keep telling me it is not worth to pursue a CMA if I do not have a CPA. CMA itself will not help me land a job, and the cost of continue education become expensive if the CMA itself will not help in my career. Please give some advices if my friends are right.
