MSF - Best secondary degree?

Is a MSF the best secondary degree in order to break into hedge funds?
I would like to break into the Fund of Funds.

I got 3 books to help me better understand the industry:

All About Hedge Funds - "Robert A Jaeger"
Hedge-hogging
The Vault Career Guide for Hedge Funds.

What do you all think about these books?
How else can I better myself to enhance my chances of obtaining a job a Junior Hedge Fund Analyst.

Thank you in advance!

3.5 Undergrad
750 GMAT
Accepted in Top 15 MSF programs

 
Cries:
If its from MIT or booth, probably. Anywhere else, no way

I agree, though I'd add princeton. Did a lot of research on MSF programs last year, became clear that unless you go to the top few, these are just university cash cows with shitty job placement.

 

I applied to Princeton and MIT MSF Programs I will look into other MFE programs to apply to. I will be finishing a degree in Finance, I see many of them (MFE Programs) want more than just a degree finance. I assume I need to take more classes in order to get accepted. I appreciate you all help.
