ER Associate

I have another wildly speculative question, so here goes. Suppose a person spends 2-3 years after graduation geting an M.Phil or some other postgrad degree in Economics, passing the CFA exams, and interning a bunch of times in ER. Would that place well for an Associate position? And would there be quality buy-side positions available too? It sounds like a nice plan as a possible alternative to becoming a full-time analyst immediately after graduation, any comments or suggestions?
