When the time comes to commence full-time employment, individuals who have graduated from university deserve a higher salary than those who have not. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#time #employment #individuals #university #salary
Nowadays, it is common to hear that university-graduated
people
 get a higher salary than non-graduated
people
. Is it fair? Many believe
people
 can't be determined by their degrees but by their working experience.
However
, there are several arguments for why university alums should have higher salaries, as follows.
Firstly
, it could be argued that university-graduated persons, especially fresh graduates, have no working experience. So, they need time to adjust to the working environment.
However
, they
also
 have knowledge that a non-graduated person still needs to learn.
For example
,
people
 who graduate from engineering school have principal equations that can be used immediately without learning them from the basics.
Secondly
, it could be said that practical
skills
 are more important than academic
skills
,
while
 university alums only have academic
skills
 when it comes to entering the workforce.
However
, because they have certificates, all the things they do and decide in working can be answered. In conclusion, despite the university alums have no working experience and practical
skills
, they deserve higher pay because they have the basic knowledge that can be held accountable by their certificate.
