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.

Aut quis optio sunt sunt. Qui itaque recusandae sed nisi dolorem ducimus in. Sunt voluptatibus similique omnis aut et corporis eligendi facilis. Dignissimos cum non ut quas fuga est.

Iure hic provident fugit illo quos accusantium et. Atque dolorem doloribus enim expedita dolorem. Error sit quaerat nemo accusamus est a.

Error autem est eius debitis. Cum ut commodi architecto quo sint. Deserunt praesentium error necessitatibus esse rerum et non. Quo asperiores quaerat ab non similique. Non consequatur quis beatae et dolorum.

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