Completing university education is thought 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 sides and give your opinion.

It is considered by some that being a university graduate is the key to securing a good appointment, while there are others who think that it is better to have

and soft skills. In my opinion, I believe that having

is essential for academic jobs while soft skills and

are more useful in business. On the one hand, many think it is easier for most people to find a good

if they are university graduates with a good degree.

In other words

can be the deciding factor in getting a good

. The competition to get into universities and the increasing number of graduates show just how significant

opportunities.

On the other hand

, having

and soft skills,

such

as leadership skills and other interpersonal skills, can

also

throw the balance in favour of the applicant, according to some. For many positions there are an overwhelming number of applicants and,

therefore

, it is often thought that having relevant

experience

in that line of

work

or having acquired useful soft skills that can be valuable to a company, can put one ahead of the game when applying for a

position

.

Finally

, in my opinion, whether needing high level

education

or skills and

experience

, depends on the

position

being applied for. Take

for example

law, medicine or teaching, it is impossible to be considered for a

position

without the required educational background.

In contrast

, in business, it would be more important for a candidate to have soft skills and

experience

in that line of business so they can step into a

position

without

further

training and be of immediate benefit to the company. In conclusion, getting a good

job

requires a relevant background either in

experience

or

education

depending on the type of

work

and field. People should make sure they attain the necessary skills or degrees before applying for a

job

in order to be sure of success.
