Would It Be Better To Work Straight After Graduation Than To Study Further?

 

It is a controversial subject and I think that doing further studies at university is better than working straight right after graduation. There are two main reasons why I choose to do further studies at university than start work after graduation. The first reason of it is getting better status in social life as well as academic life. If you prefer to do further studies at university, people will respect you much more than those who do not, because you can develop yourself in academic life. Moreover, doing further studies enables you to become self-confident and satisfied in your field. In other words, you will be professional in your field, so this will make you respectable in your social life. The second reason is the difficulties of work life. Unlike people who continue academic career and start to work after graduation can face some problems of their work life, because of the fact that they are younger, inexperienced and not good enough in their field. Due to these misfortunes, they can have difficulties in solving problems about their fields. In other words, as they are not professional in their fields, they are insufficient to cope with the problems. In addition, while people who do further studies at university can find a wide variety of jobs, they have limited work areas. For example, it is too hard for them to work abroad or in famous private companies. In conclusion, because of advantages that I mentioned above, I believe that doing further studies at university is better than starting work after graduation.
