Completing university education is though by some to be the best way to get a good job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills is more important. Discuss both advantages and disadvantages and give your opinion.

Many youths nowadays are opting to attend university more than ever before, with hindsight that they will be able to secure employment afterwards. Whilst,

experience

is highly necessary and of a higher importance. In my opinion, attaining a degree is crucial for academic jobs, whereas skills gained from

experience

is necessary for careers which are more physically laborious. With regards to university degrees, more and more people are required to obtain these in order to have a chance of gaining a valuable

job

. Companies are expecting candidates to have one university degree, at the minimum, when applying for a position,

therefore

academic education has become an essential criteria for many jobs.
