advantages.

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.

Upon graduating from high school, the young often wonder whether they ought to
keep on studying further or not. Many people believe that continuing to study at a
university or college will be the best way to guarantee a successful career, whereas
others believe that working right after school is a better option.
Working straight after graduation is beneficial in some ways. Firstly, by working,
young people will be able to earn money as soon as possible, and since they will
likely be mature enough, they will be able to live independently on their own
income. It is also common knowledge that having a job leads to even more
maturity. Secondly, a person who chooses to get a job instead of pursuing higher
education is likely to progress rapidly in their career. This may help them to obtain
a lot of real experience and skills in their chosen profession.

On the other hand, there are a variety reasons why people tend to choose to
continue their education after high school. First, a college education prepares
young people to meet higher-level qualifications, which is what most employers
expect these days. University graduates usually get a much higher salary than
those without a university education. Furthermore, the job market is becoming
more and more competitive and nowadays people are well-advised to get a degree,
as hundreds of applicants often chase the top jobs. Having a degree is an obvious
advantage that university graduates have. In Vietnam, students who graduate with
an engineering degree are highly paid and have an easy time getting a good job.

In conclusion, it seems evident that both working right after school and choosing
to continue higher-level studies each have their own unique advantages.
