Employers sometimes ask people applying for jobs for personal information, such as their hobbies or interests, and whether they are married or single. Some people say that this information may be relevant and useful. Others disagree. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In

this

present scenario, the idea that, whether getting a tertiary

education

is the best way to succeed in the long run or not, remains a source of controversy.

Although

it is undeniable that

university

degrees are not enough to have a good

career

,nowadays, I think the importance of

University

education

is indispensable in order to get a high-paid job and have a good

career

. At the start, the underlying reasons attributed to the importance of the

university

qualification are twofold. Starting with the

first

point, it is not possible to get a

first

-class job without having proper educational qualifications. To elaborate

further

, most of the companies clearly state in their brochures that in order to apply, candidates must have a minimum educational background.

For instance

, if someone wants to apply to Google, a multinational company, he must have an undergraduate

degree

in Computer Science.

Moreover

, it is hard to get a promotion in the workplace without having a higher

education

degree

.

Thus

, it is clear that

university

degrees play a great role in order to have a good and successful

career

.

By contrast

, companies, nowadays, are focusing on practical skills rather than academic certificates. To decipher

this

, even though someone does not have any specialised

degree

in computer and technology, he can work in software firms and IT sectors, these days, if he has the proper knowledge and adequate practical skills. On top of that, in

this

era of freelancing, people can pursue a successful freelancing

career

without having a college

degree

.

For example

, almost 60% of the freelancers in Bangladesh do not have any proper educational qualifications, a recent study found.

Hence

, pursuing a successful

career

is possible despite not having a

university

degree

. To conclude, In spite of having the fact that it is possible to have a successful

career

without a

university

education

, I believe that having degrees makes the road to success even more convenient and easy to attain.

Nevertheless

, youngsters should focus on their

university

qualifications simultaneously with their skill development.
