What have you been doing since graduating?
As someone with a Masters in a specialised field of Enviromental Engineering, I had no trouble finding lots of opportunities for work here in the UK, but most don't offer pay rates that would pay your phone bill, let alone your rent or mortgage.
As someone else said, Civil Engineering based Env Eng degrees are most common, but if drainage pipes don't interest you, then there are other specialisms that might.
I've come into this thread late and read it only briefly, so I'm sorry if you've answered this before:
What type of work would you like to be doing in a few years time, and where would you like to start?
As for whether you should do a Masters, I'd say it increases your chances of rewarding work, but only if you leave it with a clear purpose in career terms. Here in the UK, too few people finish first degrees with a firm idea of what work they want to do, and those of us who did had a great advantage. If you're young and/or unattached to Finland and its nuclear power and forests, then do explore further afield and let us know how you get on.
