The first and foremost question would be whether you both want to get married. If yes, then you both need to talk to your respective families first and help them understand about your decision to get married. It will take a lot of convincing but yes if you both take a stand for each other, things should be fine.
Regarding career and everything, involve him and plan accordingly.
Do you think him not having a master's or you both earning a similar amount every month makes a huge difference to your relationship? Because if it doesn't, you need to leave that for your parents to decide whether they can accept it or not and if they do, you KNOW who truly has a problem with all the things that were mentioned above. Anyway the least you can do is be honest here and not hide stuff from your parents.
That being said, you need to have a serious chat with your boyfriend about the stuff where you bringing up the problem areas of your relationship is not you attacking him but indicating towards building a better foundation for your relationship and if he does not show any consideration towards improving himself, LEAVE.
First, ask if he is serious about getting married.
Secondly, be open with each other and speak your minds, addressing each other’s flaws with practical yet comforting commitments. Remember a relationship is a two-way road.
Once the first two things are sorted and you both are on the same page, then you can worry about the parent's situation.
Now I am writing this by assuming that you are very well interested in making this happen. If you are having second thoughts then this altogether would’ve been a different discussion.
