Some people nowadays prefer to look for a job after high
school
 rather than finishing a
degree
, and eventually applying for a job. In my essay, I will provide information regarding the risks and consequences of the two pathways. In the present time, more jobs are asking for a
college
degree
 as a primary requirement to be entertained for an interview.
Furthermore
, the qualifications they seek continue to increase.
For instance
, if I work as a human resource conducting an interview with people applying for a cashier position, I will prefer an applicant with a
college
degree
 rather than a high
school
 graduate
due to
 the documents presented that they are able to perform the task.
On the other hand
, the other applicant might be suitable

apply

also
, but he does not have enough papers to prove his capabilities. Meanwhile, as the qualifications for professional jobs rise, having a
college
degree
also
 gets tougher to reach for the reason that matriculation is
also
 high.
Therefore
, some students are forced to stop and look for a job that would not need a
college
degree
. There is still a lot of work that one can have even if they do not finish their
degree
 but salaries might not be as competitive as if they finished
school
. Many believe that hardship and perseverance even with little education is the key to being successful. In conclusion, I can see that there are some people who have a better life despite not having a
college
degree
,
however
, in my ,opinion education is the foundation of a person. Everything that you are now, can be learned in
school
 these includes values and strategies in order to achieve goals. It might be difficult to finish a
degree
 but once you finish it no one can take it from you and you will always be one step ahead of others.
