Write about the following topic: In some countries there are more young people choosing to enrol in work-based training instead of attending university.

Some people suggest that in some countries more and more young individuals are choosing to enrol in hands-on experience

instead

of attending

university

. I believe that despite there are many disadvantages

such

as low salary or low social status, the advantages can override them. Hands-on training is known as the first option in many countries

due to

the lack of economic resources to go to a

university

. Enrolling in work-based training can be challenging because usually is associated with low salaries and low social status.

For example

, a friend of mine, enrolled in a hands-on training because he did not know which career to choose in the

university

.

Furthermore

, he wanted to save some money to be able to pay for his higher education. His parents hated the idea right away and they thought that he was giving up on life. They knew that the training had a low salary and it was not very socially recognized in his country.

While

there are some disadvantages to

this

, I believe that the advantages can outweigh them. One of the benefits of signing up for

this

kind of training before going to the

university

is that you earn

while

you are learning.

Hence

, can help you to alleviate your financial burden. Another strong benefit is that helps you

while

you are training in the field enhancing your practical capabilities.

For instance

, my sister's friend did not know if she wanted to go to the

university

.

In addition

, she signed up for hands-on training in the same field that she was interested in.

Therefore

, allowed her to experiment with how she felt and improve her practical skills in the field. She saved money and

finally

chose a related career at the

university

, clarifying all her doubts.

To conclude

, even though enrolling in work-based training can have its disadvantages

such

as low salary and low social status, I strongly believe that the advantages like earning money

while

you learn and enhancing practical capabilities, outweigh them.
