MODEL ESSAY:
A growing number of people are saying that getting a good
job is guaranteed, only after finishing a university
education course while others are claiming that, starting work after school is
better since it gives an experience in the field of work. I strongly agree with
the statement that, it is by far good to start work
after school to attain some level of knowledge in working.
The idea that starting to work after school is better as it
is key to gaining knowledge in the field of work. This is because working after
school means getting an upper hand in the scope of work. Unlike undergraduates
with no experience of work but only a mere theory knowledge, starting a job
after school is far reasonable since most companies are interested in
professionals, rather than undergraduates. Professionals really have the skills
it takes to work but undergraduates only know about the work. Most often,
professionals with working experience fit well in the employment world with an
outstanding performance at work. For instance, an engineering company offering
a good job will ask for practical competency. This is to confirm the ability of
the candidate having any knowledge about engineering apart from a mere theory.
On the other hand, many people try to finish college and get
a degree. This partly sounds convincing in that university education is the
basis for every job, but this is not enough to get a good job or to maintain it.
I believe knowledge is more powerful than any form of requirement. Taking my
friend for instance, who had first class in mathematics as a requirement to
teach but has no experience in teaching was rejected by the students after few
months.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that although education
certificate is important in all things, having a better experience together
with education is the right tool to unlock a good job.
