Is a Msc in Finance worth it?

I would like to know if a master of science in finance would be useful given my background and goals. -I'm an industrial engineering student. Will complete my undergraduate degree this year. -My target schools are IE, ESADE, EADA, HEC Paris and LBS. -I would like to pursue jobs related to investment/fund/portfolio analysis and management. I'm also worried because some people have told me that a Msc in finance is not an impressive degree, and people who pursue masters in finance often end selling insurance. What are your thoughts on this?
