Is an MSF worth it to get another chance at BB IB recruiting?

Hello all, 

I graduated from my college in the US (I am currently based in NYC) without internship experience and a 3.6 GPA. I wanted to break into BB IB, but given the economic climate and my lack of experience, breaking into IB at this point seems just about impossible. I can't even find a job in any business field, let alone IB. I was wondering if getting an MSF would assist with this and give me another shot at recruiting, or if the dream is just about dead. I see that my GPA is good enough to get into programs in places like Oxford and HEC, and I would be willing to work there for a few years before requesting a lateral move back to NYC. Thanks.
