Everybody is different, so it's hard to give advice when you don't know a person's priorities.
If you have the means to focus on getting a masters in a speciality field that you have a strong inclination for, then just do it.
Earning good money doing something you dislike is a golden trap. For most people, a high income leads to an expensive lifestyle. Once you get used to that lifestyle it is near impossible to cut back and follow your passion later.
When you were looking for internships, did you not find any ML/robotics ops? I would have thought that a startup and doing a masters part-time would be a good option. Just need to hustle a bit more. Research potential startups, etc.
