I just finished my undergrad in 2021 in Literature and I do really want to continue with education but I don't have any career plans/aspirations. I tend to always do courses that I find enjoyment in and I chose Literature for that reason and it's always been something that I'm passionate about. So my questions are, should I have a plan? is it a bad idea to not have a plan?

I would have to take out a loan to do it (I live in Scotland) and I'm honestly not a huge traveller, kind of just want to get my life on track and be happy (as cheesy at that sounds) haha

if you don't know why you're studying post grad you can't get things back on track

It's up to you. I wouldn't be comfortable in spending another year or two (and the potential income/career progression lost) studying without a rough plan. That's just me and you should lead your life the way you want to.

Id be concerned about losing the opportunity if you can only get funding for one masters degree. This could matter a lot when you look to starting a career.

Some people are OK with not having a plan and diving head first into anything they find enjoyable. That's perfectly fine if you are able to absorb the potential risks and consequences.
