Many people say that the only way to guarantee a good job is to complete a course of university education. Others claim that it is better to start work after school and gain experience in the world of work. How far do you agree or disagree with the above views?
Many people believe that completing a
university
degree
is the only way to get a good job
; others think work experience
matters more. While universities prepare an individual theoretically, working after school
equips a person with skills required for coping in the workplace. In my opinion, both the aforementioned arguments are true to a certain extent.
A university
degree
enhances an individual’s knowledge and promotes intellectual reasoning. This
training makes an individual more mature and ready to face the challenges of the workplace. For example
, when I was at university
, most of our assignments involved critical thinking and research; this
has expanded my knowledge in my field. In this
modern world, most employers, especially those in sectors like finance and health insist that all applicants should have a degree
. A student who starts working immediately after leaving school
will not be able to obtain a professional degree
and hence
cannot find employment in these sectors.
On the flip side, there are several benefits to getting a job
soon after leaving school
. A job
will give the individual valuable work experience
; however
, it is limited to certain occupations such
as those in arts and crafts, fashion designing and cooking where creativity and skills matter more. For example
, my friend, who is a chef at a famous restaurant never went to a cooking school
; however
, she makes delicious food because she has worked at a restaurant ever since she left school
. This
experience
helped her polish her cooking skills.
To conclude, both university
education and work experience
have a role in guaranteeing a good job
. Some occupations require a university
degree
while others do not. In my opinion, everyone should choose what is right for them.Submitted by vaghasianiral on
