Unsure as to whether or not I should pursue a Masters Degree

I have recently graduated from one of the top universities in Canada with a Major in Finance and a Minor in Accounting. I am not originally from Canada and while studying towards my Bachelors I have always kept to myself and never really participated in Uni activities. Most importantly, I have always had to return to motherland during the summers for personal reasons, and as such, I have never landed a good internship (oh the things I would change if only I could go back). Of course, I have worked during the summers, but it's safe to say I have yet to work in Finance with a capital F. Now, what next? Worried about my future and wanting to live closer to my country, I have decided around March to study for the GMAT for two weeks and ended up getting a 700. And so I've started applying to grad schools in Europe.
Fast forward through applications, projects, finals and not enough sleep, I have the following offers:
LSE: MSc in Finance and Accounting
Bocconi: MSc in Accounting, Financial Management and Control
Esade: MSc in Finance
Worst thing is that I don't really know what I want to do. All I want is a somewhat stable job, with a pay high enough to repay loans and live somewhere other than under a bridge and to be in Europe.

The question is: will these Masters allow me to have the edge they promise even though I lack in the experience department? What shall I do? Will the mindlessness of my Undergrad years taunt me forever? Thanks
