While many opined that having a higher institution
degree
will guarantee a sustainable
career
, others thought that pursuing a
career
immediately after high
school
is better. In my opinion, educational requirements for various
career
lines depend on the industry.
Some individuals, on one hand, believe that attending a
university
or college will ensure success in their careers. They feel many top jobs require a minimum of a higher institution
degree
.
In other words
,
university
or college graduates will easily qualify to apply.
For example
, professionals generally, are believed to be
university
graduates working in
job
positions with high salaries, while those working in blue-collar jobs with low wages are believed to be the maximum of high
school
qualification holders.
Therefore
, if an individual acquires a
university
degree
, he has a chance of becoming successful in his
career
.
On the other hand
, many feel that obtaining a
job
immediately after completing high
school
is better. They feel that the individual will not only start learning on the
job
at an early stage but will
also
start making an income at their early stage of life and
as a result
, they can start planning for their future.
That is
, those who went into jobs early have a higher chance of building a successful
career
and becoming wealthy before a
university
graduate completes his minimum of four years
degree
programme.
For instance
, some of the top management staff in some manufacturing industries were high
school
certificate holders, who learnt on the
job
and got promoted to the top management level based on experience acquired over the years.
In my opinion, having a successful
career
depends on the industry requirements.
For example
, without a
university
degree
in law, it is impossible to become a lawyer.
However
, a
school
qualification holder can learn engineering knowledge on the
job
and eventually become an engineer based on experience.
This
is an example of my personal
career
experience as an engineer, where my boss confirmed he became an engineer by learning on the
job
for many years.
In conclusion, there is no one right opinion about how to achieve a successful
career
. The industry will generally dictate the
job
requirements.
Therefore
, those whose
career
aspirations will require a
degree
should not hesitate to gain admission into a
university
for
further
knowledge.
