Is a masters the way to go?

Hi all, I'm sure this kind of question has been asked plenty of times but...

I finished my History degree at the University of Plymouth in 2008 and have gone into rubbish admin work that pays the bills whilst I decide on what to do next. The thought of a masters always appealed to me but I am apprehensive to make such a big financial commitment. I only got a 2:2 (If I'm honest Its what i deserved) but I know I'm capable of so much more. I love history but am realistic about the amount of 'history jobs' out there, so I would like to do a more specific masters such as publishing. with a 2:2 from Plymouth what are my chances of getting into a goodish Uni?

Also I guess what i would like to know is whether or not doing a masters is worth the money in the current financial world?

I know this is long winded but I would appreciate any comments or advice! Thanks
