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 teenagers finish school, they have to make up their mind about whether
they continue their studies with the aim of obtaining a Bachelor Degree or they
seek a job. While getting a job right after graduating from high school can bring
us a rich variety of benefits, I would suggest that teenagers should go to college
or university.
Getting down to working straight after finishing school is attractive for various
reasons. The first reason is that teenagers can be more independent when they
dedicate their time to earning money. As a result, they will be able to settle
down, start a family or having enough money to travel. Another reason is that
starting to work as soon as possible can help them escalate up the career ladder
much more easily. This is because they will have a greater opportunity to
embark on widening their horizon, gaining real experience and learning
practical skills related to their chosen profession, thereby resulting in a
successful career.
On the other hand, I would argue that it is far more beneficial for students to
keep studying to get a Bachelor Degree, rather than pursue a career. Firstly,
without any qualifications acknowledged by a college or university, the young
people will find it more competitive to successfully get a job which they have a
burning desire for. Secondly, academic qualifications are required in many
professions. In other words, there are hundreds of positions in a company that
requires a relevant qualification to get into, such as a doctor, lawyer. As a
consequence, while lack of academic qualifications exerts a negative effect on
the career path of young people, university graduates can seize more and better
job opportunities, earn higher salaries.
For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that it is highly likely for
students to have a better career in later life if they have a university or college
degree.
