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.
When they finish school, teenagers face the dilemma of
whether to get a job or continue their
education. While there are some benefits to getting a job straight after school,
I would argue that
it is better to go to college or university.
The option to start work straight after school is attractive
for several reasons. Many young
people want to start earning money as soon as possible. In this way, they can become
independent, and they will be able to afford their own house
or start a family. In terms of their
career, young people who decide to find work,
rather than continue their studies, may progress
more quickly. They will have the chance to gain real
experience and learn practical skills related
to their chosen profession. This may lead to promotions and a successful career.
On the other hand, I believe that it is more
beneficial for students to continue their studies.
Firstly, academic qualifications are required in many professions.
For example, it is impossible
to become a doctor, teacher or lawyer without having the relevant degree.
As a result, university
graduates have access to more and better job opportunities,
and they tend to earn higher salaries
than those with fewer qualifications. Secondly, the job market is becoming increasingly
competitive, and sometimes there are hundreds
of applicants for one position in a company.
Young people who do not have qualifications
from a university or college will not be able to compete.
For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me
that students are more likely to be successful in
their careers if they continue their studies beyond school level.
