<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Hi redditors, this is my first post on reddit so if I have done anything wrong, do let me know. I would like to say this subreddit has been immensely useful in my job search (I'm a fresh grad).

So this job isn't mine but it belongs to someone close to me. Academia isn't my field (I'm in Computer Science) so I"m sure if this is considered normal. Some background:

* 25 M, mechanical engineering graduate (2013) from an Australian uni.
* Currently pursuing a Masters in engineering at a local (Malaysian) uni (first Masters student at the uni) under full government scholarship.
* Official job title is a tutor on a 2 year contract.

So this is what I've noticed for the past 1 1/2 years:

* Entered the uni in May last year but Masters research only officially started early this year (March IIRC). Something about finding a local company to sponsor equipment or something.
* Always doing admin paperwork.
* Unpaid weekends spent either chauffeuring VIPs around or travelling out of state to other campuses to attend uni open days.
* Today he was asked to climb onto a roof after hours and install equipment because the person responsible didn't know how. Unpaid of course.
* He used to drive his supervisor around quite often.
* Unrelated but he was asked to go for a conference in another country all expenses paid but upon further inspection of fine print, it would only be paid if he extended his contract another 6 months.
* No raise (but it has only been 1 1/2 years) and normal bonus (same as everyone else).

He was offered a lecturing position after the contract ends. He does enjoy the job because it has flexible hours and the potential to earn a high salary. 

What do you guys think?
<bot>: close friend has tutoring job while pursuing Masters but seems to be taken for granted. Not sure if normal given I'm not in the field.
