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.

Although

graduating from university is pivotal for most people to achieve their dream

job

, others argue that enhancing soft skills and gaining real-life experiences are preferred over the

first

one. Personally, I believe that both notions should be fulfiled by

job

seekers before getting their purposed work. On the one hand, being an alumnus of one college is a prestige believed by some as a way to reach a better work life.

That is

to say, national as well as multinational companies require a transcript document as proof that their prospective employees have a minimum bachelor's

degree

qualification. By meeting

this

requirement, it represents that the

job

seeker has many potencies which can be developed

further

using many substantial approaches,

such

as managerial or leadership training. The MNC corporation, a well-known Indonesian broadcast company,

for instance

, has set undergraduate degrees as the

first

gate for sorting their candidate workers since it was built.

Consequently

, if the candidates have met

this

requirement, they will easily go to the

next

stage before becoming full-time employees, even though there are many filtering processes afterwards like soft skills that are needed to be fulfiled.

On the other hand

, many

job

vacancies do not need

degree

certification in their requirement stages since it does not guarantee the worker's qualities they seek.

In addition

, experienced and soft-skills-built workers are in demand rather than those are graduated from a university. If companies employed these kinds of workers, they will likely reduce their spending on training budget and may allocate it for other purposes. To illustrate, many leading Indonesian companies decide to employ skilled people even though they have no

degree

at all, as long as they can pass through every single stage in the recruitment process.

As a result

, graduates from universities still need to enhance their potencies by joining more training not only by using their own budget but

also

through free programs provided by the government. In conclusion, despite the

degree

qualification that most university alumni have, they are required to gain other practical skills to be hired by a big company.

Therefore

, I believe that both matters should be owned by most graduates for getting a better future career.
