Some suggest that young people should take a job for few years between school and university. Discuss what the advantages and disadvantages might be for people who do this. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

Some people recommend that the school graduates should

work

for a few years before enrolling universities.

This

essay will suggest that self-identification is the biggest benefit of

this

and losing belief to

study

is the principal drawback. These days the quality of tertiary

education

is suffering due to its students who could not choose their occupation properly. According to a recent student satisfaction survey of universities conducted by the Mongolian National Statistical Agency, two

third

of the respondents answered that they are dissatisfied with their current

study

because of their incorrect choice of the profession.

Additionally

, it is expected that after their graduation, most of them might not

work

as their professional major.

However

, gap years may allow younger people to recognize themselves by knowing their real interest as well as needs while experiencing different jobs. In my case, one of my university classmates used to

work

prior to

study

the university.

Therefore

, he could understand the profession which is highly suitable for him, and graduated from the university with high distinction along with several job offers. Despite these advantages, some students are persuaded for getting a job

instead

of go directly to higher

education

.

Although

they wish to

initially

acquire a bachelor degree after working for a time, most of them lose gradually their hope to

study

at a higher level

education

due to

work

place adaptation. An illustration of

this

is that one

third

of students who take years off never

study

at universities, as stated by the Ministry of

Education

and Culture of Mongolia’s annual report.

Moreover

, my grandfather could not enter the tertiary

education

because of year off even though receiving an unconditional offer from Lomonosov Moscow State University. In conclusion, taking years off might be advantageous if students use it for identifying themselves effectively,

however

, they should be careful since it can be reducing their motivation to

study

for

further

education

.
