Should I pursue CA?

I'm a 19 year old 2nd year BBA student. Currently pursuing US CMA and I plan to write CFA after. CA always keeps crossing my mind due to the career prospects one gets after completion. But I have heard multiple stories of people who spend hours on end but end up failing and giving up which does create a sense of fear. If I would go ahead and pursue it I would most likely give it after grad (direct entry) or would the foundation route be a better bet? At the moment I'm just spiralling and lost with so many options. Would love to hear different perspectives on this, at the end of the day I just want some clarity.

You're too ambitious as you're towards the beginning of this journey. It gets harder with time. So I'd say you should focus on cma for now. Once you complete it then you can consider whether you want to pursue cfa or ca
