I would have thought that the best thing to do after graduation is to work, at least for 1-2 years before doing a masters. That will mean you have a practical side to apply the masters education to and one that will stand you in better stead should you wish to take on a management role. I believe that to many people go onto further education to soon without any practical experience. I have several friends who have done MBA's and many of them don't get jobs as those who have the MBA and the practical experience gain the positions ahead of them. Anyway something perhaps worth considering if you take a medium term view of positioning yourself above other job candidates.

If you do want to do a masters overseas perhaps be really specific as to the title/field/course work that you wish to do the masters in. There are many courses around the world that have slightly different angles in their curriculum and so to know precisely what you're after might provide more useful advice from those who know about them in more depth.
