Would Engineering Grad School Help My Career?

Hello, I obtained an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering in 07 and have been working professionally since then. I have had two jobs with good companies so far, however, the technical work I have been doing has become rather boring and was considering going back to Grad school to get a Master’s degree. I thought perhaps this might open up doors to more interesting work. However, I have to admit, my graduating GPA was not competitive and I fear I would have to settle for a school with a reputation much below that where I obtained my Undergrad. Would you think this would hurt or help my career?
