Wrong, you don't need FCH to get into IB. I graduated with a fringe 2nd upper in political science and got into IB just fine. The financial modelling involved in an IB analyst's work is so rudimentary even secondary school kids can do it. The fact that you think not having a finance background disqualifies you shows your ignorance.

To OP, stop listening to these idiots and connect with professionals on linkedin who are working in the positions that you're coveting. Get linkedin premium and you'll see NUS/NTU econs grads in a whole host of vocations. You're not limited by your major nor are you disadvantaged in securing jobs in finance compared to B&F graduates.
