Writing Task 2 (AC+GT)
Some people see that university education is essential for successful life, while other don’t find it true. Discuss both the views and give your opinion..
Model Answer –
In this contemporary epoch, it is no wonder that education is mandatory for individuals. However, it is opined by section of society that tertiary education is imperative to be successful in life. while, others contradicts it. This essay will be the amalgamation of both the facts along with my opinion.
On the one hand, proponents of the former viewpoint have several reasons for supporting. First and foremost, Some people strongly believe that tertiary education secures their future as the chance for them to be offered a job is higher. This is probably true as academic qualification is one of the major criteria’s taken into consideration in a job interview. Clearly in this sense, more people would pursue education after high school in order to acquire more knowledge and skills which are essential for their future. Professionals such as doctors, lawyers and accountants are required to go through few years of teaching and training before working. There is no doubt that such professions would have a secure job and a successful life, yet they work unfriendly hours where they hardly see their friends and families. Moreover, they have better critical thinking skills, by which they look for solution before forming the plausible. Besides, university scholars are known to show commitment and respect which is appreciated by prospective employers. In a recent survey conducted in US, 70% of the recruiters prefer the academic skills as well as personal skills while interviewing the polrospective employees.
On the other hand, as per the another section of the society. It is believed that successful persons are usually talented in their field . they claim that people don’t have to spend time in universities because certain occupations don’t require academic qualification, especially those which require skills. In fact, they think that those jobs are more enjoyable on top of a decent pay, to cite an example, Steve Job, who dropped out from university had a successful life by intervening technological products such as computers, telephones and tablets which have brought a lot of convenience and joy to the society. This has shown that university is not necessary in order to obtain a successful life as long as we work hard.
To encapsulate, it can be reiterated that attending the university is must to have a successful life; nevertheless, another group is against this belief. From my perspective not only university qualifications assist in achieving success but also being gifted can be a crucial determinant of success.
