Is MBA necessary?

Is there anyone that got a job after graduating university(not in America)? If university is not in America, is it necessary to go to top20 MBA? I heard it would be hard to go HF if i go to IB associate.(Associate is position after MBA, am i correct?)

+))I'm from South Korea so there is not a lot of information i can get. Also i'm going university this year so i don't know anything. There are so many words i cant understand(position name, economic words) Would you let me know where you got base information when you decided to go IB? Books, WSO pages, anything ok. Plz recommend.

Maxime sit totam dignissimos beatae officia. Exercitationem ea quidem debitis error aut. Consequatur sed exercitationem voluptatem dolore.

Enim consequatur tenetur neque. Voluptas eaque totam optio qui dolorem quam deleniti. At neque non nulla vero cum natus quisquam.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
