Is MSF, MMS, or MFE even if you don't get into Investment Banking?

Masters in Finance, Masters in Management Studies, Masters in Financial Engineering. Are they worth it if you don't get into Investment Banking? Thinking about getting one of those degrees, working, then MBA and trying again if I don't get into Investment Banking.

If you're doing any degree strictly for an end goal you're going to be disappointed. I've seen people get great roles from a specialized masters and people fall on their face. Things are what you make it.

You'll get a great education, hopefully a good brand and new alumni connections and a memorable experience. What you do with it is on you.
