Some people think that young people should go to university to further their education while others think they should be encouraged to work as car mechanics or builders etc to serve society. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Everyone has their own beliefs. I feel like nothing is right or wrong from the statement above. The difference between the statement comes from the statement giver's experience. Both have positive and negative sides. Education is everyone's right, yet, going to
university
 is a
choice
.
People
 who want to pursue their career as a decision-maker or part of upper management in an organization and
people
 who want to be an academic or researcher, in my opinion, should attend
university
. Solving problems at a higher level certainly requires skills and knowledge, one of which can be obtained through higher education. Surely, there are still
people
 who could not attend
university
 but still managed to climb to an upper management position, but it is a rare situation.
Such
 as Mark Zuckerberg who was dropped out of a top-class
university
, Harvard, but managed to be one of the biggest entrepreneurs in the world and becomes chairman of his own company.
On the contrary
, I did not degrade
people
 who choose not to go to college and choose to work
instead
. Some skills, can not be learned in
university
 but in society. Above all, it is about
choice
, either going to college or not. As long as the person feels comfortable and passionate about their
choice
, I think it would not be a problem. It just needs the commitment to pursue what they want in their lives. To sum up, everything in
this
 world is about
choice
 including
choice
 for attending or not to attend
university
. Yet,
people
 must take responsibility for their own
choice
 and never blame each other or humiliate other
people
's choices.
