MBA the only solution?

I’ll graduate from a MSF Non-Target in DACH and a currently finishing a BO Internship (I wish I didn’t go to BO).

With the current job market being down, CS laying off staff and so on… My odds are i existent.

I often hear that doing the CFA could help but ultimately I don’t want to work in AM/ER.

Meanwhile I could try to target a too MBA program which I’d apply to in 4/5 years (I’m 24 right now), thus preparing for the GMAT…

However, I consider myself really dumb and I honestly don’t know anything, a MSc is worth nothing and having interned in the BO I couldn’t feel more stupid, I really been doing monkey work all the time.

I’d like to hear your thoughts, kinda out of motivation these days and I honestly don’t even think about my career / IB anymore these days as it’s feels very pointless (and I’m not speaking with my feelings, I know I am 2 nanoseconds close to failing my career entry).
