Job vs. Education

In the final year of collage, most of the students feel difficult to choose from pursuing Master's Degree or going to work directly. It is hard in all different ways. At that age, only a small number of collage students have determined what they want to achieve in the next few years. It seems nice at the moment but the decision might also turn out to be some regrets. For example, the tuition fees of studing abroad for a Chineses student will usually be paid by 5 years working salary, while those who start a job right after undergraduate are likely to be at the same payment level since they've gathered more working experience.

For those who choose job,

• earn money right away to help with family, accumulate funds for further investment;
• more working experience camparing with peers at the same age;
• still possible to pursue education when they know themselves better;

For those who choose education,

• well-written syllabus for systematic learning journey;
• support from professors and classmates;
• group study to develop collabration and cooperation among different people;

Here's one topic in IELTS G Writing Part 2 and Simon's anwers are as below

IELTS G

When they finish school, teenagers face the dilemma of whether to get a job or continue their education. While there are some benefits to getting a job straight after school, I would argue that it is better to go to college or university.

The option to start work straight after school is attractive for several reasons. Many young people want to start earning money as soon as possible. In this way, they can become independent, and they will be able to afford their own house or start a family. In terms of their career, young people who decide to find work, rather than continue their studies, may progress more quickly. They will have the chance to gain real experience and learn practical skills related to their chosen profession. This may lead to promotions and a successful career.

On the other hand, I believe that it is more beneficial for students to continue their studies. Firstly, academic qualifications are required in many professions. For example, it is impossible to become a doctor, teacher or lawyer without having the relevant degree. As a result, university graduates have access to more and better job opportunities, and they tend to earn higher salaries than those with fewer qualifications. Secondly, the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, and sometimes there are hundreds of applicants for one position in a company. Young people who do not have qualifications from a university or college will not be able to compete.

For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that students are more likely to be successful in their careers if they continue their studies beyond school level.
