Many people say that the only way to guarantee getting a good job is to complete a course of university education. Others claim that it is better to start work after school and gain experience in the world of work. How far do you agree or disagree with the above views? It is probably true to say that most people believe that a university degree is the only way to get a good job.

I think

this

is true in certain areas,

while

in other areas, a

degree

is not as useful.

To begin

with, many people have ambitions to become a qualified professional and there is no doubt that becoming a doctor or a lawyer,

for example

, is only possible with a

degree

. Another advantage of graduating from

university

is that it gives you more choices when it comes to choosing a

job

. Most employers will be more impressed by a candidate who has a

degree

than they would be by one who only has high school qualifications because it shows a certain level of intelligence and education,

as well as

the commitment and self-discipline

that is

needed in order to study a

degree

course for three or four years.

On the other hand

, there might be some benefits to starting your career early, especially if your chosen field is one which does not typically require a

university

education.

This

would apply to somebody who wants to be a car mechanic, or a fashion designer,

for instance

, who would not necessarily gain anything from going to

university

. The hands-on experience you gain in your

job

while

others are studying for a

degree

can give you a distinct advantage. So,

to conclude

, it is possible to get a good

job

without going to

university

. Having said that, some professions,

such

as the law, require you to have a

degree

and as stated above a

university

degree

could potentially open more doors when looking for a

job

.
