Having a good university degree guarantees people a good job.
To what extent do you agree?
A university degree is often considered as a key to a more promising future. Many people sought after university degrees after they graduate from high school in hopes of securing a good job when they come out to work. While obtaining a university degree does increase the likelihood of securing a job for a person, a university degree by itself does not guarantee landing a good job.
Firstly, many employers prefer to hire graduates with relevant job experience. A good university degree doesn’t guarantee graduates with the necessary skillsets required for a job. University courses tend to be more theoretical and have limited practical training and graduates often struggle to cope at work because of that. In the end, employers still end up spending time and money to train up fresh graduates.
Moreover, employers seek people who are productive in working in a team so that they can fit in well with other colleagues. This is only assessable through one-on-one interviews because a university degree does not give out any information on a person’s personality. As a result, an interview becomes necessary in a job application and plays a bigger role than university degrees.
In conclusion, a good university degree does help a person in securing a job but only to a certain extent. Other factors such as job experience and personality plays a major part in obtaining a good job as well. A person needs to focus on other factors as well in order to secure a good job.
