University education and future career

Hi everybody!
After discussing for a long time, our group has decided to work on a topic related to education that is: “Is university education the only way to have a successful career?” Since we have a lot of time, we can discuss the answer later. We also hope to receive your comment on our topic. Now let’s start with the benefits that university education brings to us.

It is an undeniable fact that university education is of great importance. Most people nowadays choose university as a gate to their future because it offers them many job opportunities, major knowledge and essential skills for their social life.
Firstly, the most important reason why people attend university is that they can get a good job if they graduate from a university. In reality, when a person applies for a job, he or she will surely be asked for at least a certain certificate. Even in most companies, managers or presidents are often elected on the basis of their experience and educational background. Obviously, the long process of study will contribute to one’s success in his future job and profession.
Secondly, at universities, students have the opportunity to increase their knowledge about a specific era that they have chosen. Also they can take classes in other areas. By studying in such an academic environment, learners can improve their mind and their way of thinking, which is the main function of education like what George Bernard Shaw, a British dramatist, critic and writer, said: “A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.”
Last but not least, university education provides people with certain skills which are very necessary in modern society such as communication skill, group work, language skill…Those skills will serve as effective tools for them to compete with others to get the job they want. And those who can apply these skills in their career will be likely to succeed.
To sum up, people should attend universities so that they can prepare for their future career, gain more knowledge and learn essential skills. As long as university education still plays an important role in one’s career, people who choose to study in university are certainly going on the right way.
