Rai, Navendra: Paglia

Many  people  believe  that  a  college  degree  is  not  required  for  a  person  to  get  a  job.  If they  have  skills  and  experience  in  that  field,  they  could  get  the  job. In  addition, they  also  believe  that  college  degrees  cost  much  time  and  money. However in  my  opinion, college  degrees  are  necessary  to  obtain  jobs. In  this  essay, I  am  supporting  the  people  who  think  that  college degrees  have  a  vital  advantage  over  work  experience  and  skills. 

The  world  have  changed  a  lot  recently.  As  the  world  has  changed,  so  have  peoples'  ways  of  thinking.  People  used  to  think  that  they  just  need  some  skills  and  a  lot  of  experience  to  do  a  jobs.  But  in  this  advanced  and  business-minded  world,  people  tend  to  think  that  work  experiences  alone  do  not  help  them  to  get  jobs.  All  the  business  companies  search  for  people  who  have  at  least  a  high  school  degree.  Although  getting  a  college  degree  requires  a  lot  of  time  and  pretty  good  amount  of  money,  in  the  long  run  the  consequences  would  be  very  rewarding.  In  other  words,  people  benefit  from  college  degrees.  They  will  have  a  good  job  with  considerably  high  salary  compared  to  people  who  don’t  have  college  degree.  In  the  future,  business  companies  will  search  for  people  with  higher  college  degrees.

In  addition,  the  level  of  college  degree  you  achieve  will  make  a  huge  impact  on  the  level  of  your  job.  For  example,  people  with  master’s  degrees  or  doctorate’s  tend  to  have  higher  posts  and  salaries  in  organizations.  The  level  of  your  education  opens  doors  to  many  opportunities.  Even  if  you  are  applying  for  the  job  which  is  not  related  to  your  college  degree,  the  employers  will  look  at  your  level  of  education.  A  college  degree  is  certainly  very  important  in  getting  the  job  in  today’s  business-oriented  world.

In  conclusion, I  would  like  to  say  that  to  be  educated  is  not  the  wrong  thing  to  do.  Although  getting  college  degree  is  very  time  consuming  and  expensive. However,  in  the  long  run  college  degrees  do  not  have  negative  effect  on  one’s  life.  Instead,  they  help  to  improve  the  living  standard  of  people.
