Some people think that getting a degree from university is the best way to guarantee a good job, others believe that it would be better to go straight into work and get experience instead. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Getting a job as a fresh graduate may sometimes be difficult. While some people think that an academy diploma is a key to landing their dream career, others insist on getting real-world experience
instead
. This
essay will explain both positions and prove that a degree is a crucial aspect of the process of getting a good job.
There has always been an opinion that teenagers after graduating from high school, most likely do not know what profession to choose, and therefore
, many of them do not want to waste their time and money on a diploma that might not work out well in a long perspective. Consequently
, they try to get experience in the field first
and then
decide whether they like it or not. According to Statistics Canada 35% of office workers don't have a college education, however
, almost half of them end up taking courses to improve qualification.
On the other side, the educational program gives a better understanding of how the system works. Not only does it provide graduates with essential knowledge, but it also
gives them a lot of networking opportunities and develops problem-solving skills. A connection that is
established in the university is most likely to boost one's career. For example
, my classmate got hired right after graduating by the company he did his thesis project for.
To conclude, while getting your foot in the industry right after school can be time, I strongly agree with the idea of getting a degree first
as it prepares students for the real world’s jobs, gives a comprehensive knowledge base and useful connections.Submitted by Tetiana Yurchenko on
