for me, it is very low.. at the age of 30 should be at least earning 5 digits, cause it is the moment to build a family.

I wouldn't really like anyone taking master, cause when you do the calculation, it actually takes many years of working (after graduated) to breakeven your time, money thrown into. For the study fees you can actually venture into small business. But if you're not that risky type or simple life person then "master" is the way to go..

I had full scholarship for my master, so i didn't spend any money, but you are right about the time invested in, at this age there many commitments, not that i"m greedy but life really demands alot. if time goes back, I would get more experience than upgrade education, coz can i study later while working. The only hope left is that master+ experience can give edge or advantage in career progress.

Don't think it is underpaid. Age doesn't put into benchmark "how much you should earn". Experience counts.

suggest to start working the moment you get a degree, as early as possible and be aggressive during the first few years of your career.
once you start climbing up the corporate ladder, you will have more time to pursue your masters (power of delegation). By then Masters also will be slightly more relevant to your career.

100% agree

I'm not sure if its still called part time job.
I'm working part time as in only working for few months until I start my studies.
Though working hour is still full time. Does that help?
*
hmm doesn't sound as part time job to me, it is more like temporary full time job (40 hours a week ?)
it is definitely low anyway u look at it, but it depends on you, job scope & your alternative options.
is the job relaxing or demanding? does it give you any exposure to your future studies?
