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.

Some people argue that accessing tertiary education is the best way to achieve success,

while

others claim that getting a job after graduating from secondary schooling is better. Personally, I agree with the former opinion. In

this

essay, I will first clarify both viewpoints and later show my personal thinking.

To begin

with, there is no doubt that higher education provides not only a holistic learning environment but

also

teaches theoretical and in-depth knowledge, which is required for

students

' careers and

then

they have formal qualifications.

Furthermore

,

students

in universities and colleges are

also

encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities to cultivate soft skills.

Consequently

, with their academic degree and gained soft skills,

such

as leadership,

students

might have more and better job opportunities.

For instance

, most employers prefer candidates who were a member of clubs at their universities or joined non-government organisations for

students

. Some surveys reveal those candidates are offered higher salaries and positions.

On the other hand

, going to work after

school

helps the young acquire more practical skills and have abundant working experience.

Subsequently

, it is obvious that getting a job straight after

school

is saving time of making money

while

studying at university takes almost four to five years.

For

this

reason, working after graduating from secondary education is suitable for youngsters having financial difficulties or finding it hard to continue studying academic theories. In Viet Nam,

for example

, some young people make up their minds about becoming workers, plumbers, etc because those jobs are not required formal qualifications but graduating high

school

, which is saving time and tuition fees. In conclusion, I believe that pursuing tertiary is the shortest way to gain achievements because of those prominent advantages. Starting working after

school

is still beneficial but it takes more time to gain higher positions.
