With masters government subsidies gone, should I give up on taking masters?
I was initially planning to take part time masters in a field that I have interest in (and maybe do a career change if I do well in said masters program) and I have finally saved up enough after working for a few years.
But with the removal of subsidies, the cost of doing part time masters is just too much. Should I continue saving up and take masters a few years later? Or is there any other alternatives which I can seek out

Do you need the masters? most of the time, employers don't look at the masters, more work experience.

Education fees will only keep increasing. Few years later will be even more expensive......

Speaking from my experience, I did my Master in Computer Science (NUS) and dropped out due to a "free upgrade into an industrial PhD", I would like to share my 2 cents tip.
For context, I graduated in aeronautical engineering and I wanted to switch careers due to the difference in salary and CS is more versatile. However, I had to fork out that hefty sum just to pay for the course. Honestly speaking, it is not that worthwhile if you just want to "wash" your certificate and attain a higher salary. I am a self-taught software engineer and have been working in my company for over 2 years. I feel that the salary difference between people with/without a Master does not really matter. You just need that undergraduate degree as your ticket to get your first job and the rest is based on your experience.
