Even in career fields that require a graduate degree, it is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for breaking into that field. Why graduate school now? You need to weigh the pros and cons of going straight from your undergraduate to earning your graduate degree or getting some work experience first, and then going back to school. What will be the likely return on this investment? Weigh the total cost of tuition against the average salary for your anticipated career field.
