Advantages And Disadvantages Of Employment After Graduation

Education as a whole has been the key to the future and provides to the students with skill that they could not get anywhere. The new age has clearly shown us that education is a vital ingredient for a person’s future. Education has shown that one who studies further has a better lifestyle and will be highly respected, but what education cannot do is offer everyone the opportunity to succeed. Only a few students can take advantage of education; because if suddenly

In today’s world, young people think that if they continue their tertiary education, they can access a better job, no matter which subject they take. This situation indirectly causes a huge enrollment of students into universities and colleges, which may drop off the quality of education. As the author says, “quantity trumps quality” (pg. 168) which certify that the environment is skipped from education to jobs; meanwhile, the knowledge part is ignored by the students. In detail, they do not expect to learn something but just to get a degree which acts as “a passport to consideration for a job”. (pg. 164) This condition gradually turns credentialing into the norm. Everyone only cares about the degree that they will receive rather than concerning about what they will learn and develop through their subject’s material.

Going to college and receiving a degree does not guarantee that a person is going to get a job right after they graduate. It is sometimes hard for some graduates to find a good job because there is so much competition with other graduates as well. Sometimes they may get a job and it could be in a totally different field of what they got their degree for. They must find a job though to pay off all the debt that an education has given them.

The degree is seen as a free (to the employer) screening tool to filter through the applicants. The employer sees the degree as a representation of the individual’s ability to learn as well as a level of perseverance desired in employees. Considering the social and economic pressures in today’s world, all individuals with the ability to attend college and achieve a degree should do so in order to better prepare themselves for a competitive job market.

Apart from the idea that college degree does not decide the path of life, the author asserts that it is still worth people’s time. According to the author’s data, most people who do not own a college degree perform worse in careers

Diplomas are not just pop up from nowhere; there are a lot of things needs to be done in order to receive the diplomas. Mary Sherry believes that diplomas are meaningless; because “Passing student who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to have basic skills” (Sherry 560). She emphasizes mastering the work. She did not consider that students are not required to master every work they have done in school. They just need to master the skills they will need in the future. For instance, a cashier does not require to master their work on trigonometry; because a cashier only requires basic calculation.

The challenge that many students face is choosing an occupation that may not hire by the time of graduation.

Christopher Caldwell, the author of “WHAT A COLLEGE EDUCATION BUYS” presents his idea on college education of a 4-year college degree in American. The author’s assertion that college degree is not for everyone; it is something superb and looks like prime but it does not guarantee graduates’ practical productivity and usefulness in the particular professions or fields. Also, he assertion includes that nowadays college education has been increasing because of its growth in demands and increased popularity. Thus, is it worthwhile for parents to place a lot of raw financial chunk on the children’s college degrees, while it does not even benefit graduates as it did before? The author argues about how

The increase in demand for higher education is constantly rising. Jobs require degrees. To get those degrees,

Parent’s goals are to their children become successful learners so that children can do extremely well as an adult. Regardless if parents receive their high school diploma, parents still talk to their children about the importance of education (Thao, 2009).

Why is it important to achieve a college degree, certificate or diploma? Generally speaking, what is the importance of having a college education? This is a question that I have been debating and fighting with myself for the past five years. Is it because with a college education a person can get a better job, earn more money and ensure himself of a better life? Or is the whole concept of college a fraud and a scam to manipulate individuals in feeling inferior without it? In this paper, I am going to enlighten you of the pros and cons of having a valid college education and what it means to me.

In Robert E. Sullivan, Jr.’s “Greatly Reduced Expectations”, Sullivan discusses the lack of employment available to college graduates. Throughout the essay, testimonials are given by four college graduates who expected more opportunity when they graduated with a four year degree. I sympathize with these men and women who are working in jobs that do promote their ability.

In today's society it seems almost essential to have a degree. Almost ninety percent of all jobs require at least a bachelor degree from their applicants. However, this could be a massive impediment to students who were not given the right of a good education. Therefore, this limits the potential of students and diminishes their success. A formal education would not only benefit the student, but help benefit the students future

Experience is just as important as education is. Just as with education, experience is needed depending on the position that is being filled and the duties that need to be performed. Many articles address the issue of having experience instead of education for a job. The real question was: how much experience do you need to make up for not having a degree? Anthony Miller, a recruiter with Volt Technical Resources in Portland, OR, says that generally recruiters and hiring managers equate about three years of work experience to every year in a college classroom (Broadus 2008). If you plan on going that route, have a resume with a cover letter that really makes you stand out in the crowd (Broadus 2008). So many people have been turned down for a job because of not having enough experience. But think about this, if you were fresh out of college how would you have the number of years of experienced needed? How would you get experience if you were not able to get a job in

We cannot put blame it on the employers only. “More is better” is a wrong
