Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

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.
