Do you think it is better for students to work before their university study? Why?

Over the past decades, there has been general debate over the education. Many believe that students should go straight to the university after the graduation of high school.

On the contrary

, some think that taking a gap year to

work

is more beneficial in which I completely agree with. The

first

reason is that pupils have a better chance to discover the field of interest. Some select the course that

first

seems interesting with hope that they will take up a career of their field of study once completed. Unfortunately,

this

is not always the case for some as they might realize the half way through that the selected major is what they do not want to pursue in the future. And

this

could be due to the difficulty in seeking employment or low salary.

As a result

, all the hard

work

and time spent are in vain. For

this

reason, working at least a year

before continuing

before, continuing

the tertiary education is advisable. As they are exposed to the

work

and gain the

the course related to the

work

or not. Another reason is that some useful skills

as interpersonal and people skills,

, and many more can be early obtained. These skills are highly important for both personal and professional

lives

in the near future as they enter the corporate world, and sooner or later, they would have to learn them.

Therefore

, having

such

skills beforehand could help increase the students’ competitiveness as well as better chances of obtaining employment and higher salary. In summary, early exposure to the

work

that interests the students has the potential benefit, which can save time spent on courses that they might later not like, while the aforementioned skills can

early be learned

Suggestion

be learned early

. As a consequence, taking a gap year is highly recommended.
