Completing university education is thought by some to be the best way to get a good job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills is more important. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Some consider that being a university graduate is the key to securing a good job, while others think that it is better to have experience and soft skills. In my opinion, I believe that possessing a university education is essential for academic jobs, while soft skills and experience are more useful in business.
On the one hand, many think it is easier for most people to find a good job if they are university graduates with a reasonable degree. In other words, having tertiary education puts people one step ahead of others who do not, and this could be the deciding factor in getting a good job. The competition to get into universities and the increasing number of graduates show just how significant this level of education is for people’s future work opportunities.
On the other hand, having work experience and soft skills, such as leadership skills and other interpersonal skills, can also throw the balance in favour of the applicant, according to some. For many positions there is an overwhelming number of applicants and, therefore, it is often thought that having relevant experience in that line of work or having acquired useful soft skills that can be valuable to a company, can put one ahead of the game when applying for a position.
Finally, in my opinion, whether needing high-level education or skills and experience, depends on the position being applied for. Take, for example, law, medicine or teaching; it is impossible to be considered for a job without the required educational background. In contrast, in business, it would be more critical for a candidate to have soft skills and experience in that line of business so they can step into a position without further training and be of immediate benefit to the company.
In conclusion, getting a good job requires a relevant background, either inexperience or education, depending on the type of work and field. People should make sure they obtain the necessary skills or degrees before applying for a job to be confident of success.
