Many graduates cannot find a job as the economic situation is still in all-time low. So many of them are regretting entering university. If they didn't attend university, they would have more free time do gain enough social experience. They are called green-handed by many enterpises. As they lack working experience, many companies refuse to employ them because they are green. So i just want to ask this question: is it necessary to attend a university?

I know that i am not. I do not think that it is not necessary at all times. Some people like me i have already been given job offers for large salaries and i am not even out of highschool. That is just because i am really good at what i do during the summer and my free time.

I'm attending university. Do i think that it's a good idea to attend university? Sure. I do think that it's a good idea. However, I don't think that it's necessary to attend university. I think that it's all up to the individual in question. Attending university has its ups and downs, just like not attending university, as well as a lot of other things. I still stand by that attending university or not is all up to the individual in question.

Yes, maybe it depends. For more knowledge, i should go to university. Maybe we should think that you can get a job offter if you graduate from university. We should think we go to university to acquire knowledge. In this way we will think it is a better place.

It depends on what your aspiration in life are. If you want to be a plumber you can take a good apprenticeship and earn as much as a university professor in my country. You can also attend a community college and become a technician, the time is shorter and you can apply for a job quicker but if you want to rise in your company the lack of an engineering degree from university can prevent you from achiveing your goal. Auto mechanics do not need a university degree but increasingly they need to be computer literate so they need to finish high school and enter a good training program with a licence at the end. Even now factory workers need good literacy.
Say you did finish university and receive a degree but cannot find a job in your field straight away you will always have that diploma. The education does not make your head heavier and it is not hard to carry around with you. Who knows one day it may even be useful.


myLot reputation of 84/100. andy555 (103)   ranked 2,180 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

Your opinion is great! Nobody can steal your knowledge and it will add any pressure on you! Good idea! I will remember it forever! You will never know when your diploma will be useful if it is not today,right?


myLot reputation of 97/100. agv0419 (2403)   ranked 2,745 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

I think it is much better now a days to be practical if you don't have money to attend the university why not go to vocational schools. Sometimes the graduates of vocational schools are more successful than to the university graduates. Because of the economic downturn many fresh graduateds can't find a suitable jobs for them.


carline76 (49)   ranked 33,652 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

I agree with Lindalinda. It really depends on your aspiration. If you have big aspirations, you should finish your studies by attending a university so that you'll have greater chances than those who have not finished their schooling.

Education is very important, it is something that cannot be taken away from you. It also one way of improving oneself. If you're a person who continuously loves to learn new things, going to college/university should not be a trouble for you.

Finishing studies is also one way to be proud of oneself, it is one of the greatest achievements a human can achieve.

In our country it is. Education is a highly competitive requirement to land a good job.

So it is the same with my country.

hi andy,

For me attending university is a great opportunity to hone our skills and to gain some knowledge which we can use in our future. Diplomas or certificates are needed to have a better career especially if you want to have a high paying job. But not all who attended some college/university had great lives, I mean in terms of career or financial status. Our success also depends on our ability, there are people who didn't have a degree but were able to have a well paid job. Like people who make money on the internet. I have heard stories that there some who just graduated high school and now have a multi-million dollar company. happy


myLot reputation of 84/100. andy555 (103)   ranked 2,180 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

Maybe it is the ability that metters instead of certificates .

Hi andy555

I just checking whether you keep your word or not. I like your spirit. Keep it up man.

Now what you asked Is it necessary to attend a university?

Why not definitely necessary to attend a university.

But there is a problem there for that we have to pass school and colleges my dear friend.


myLot reputation of 84/100. andy555 (103)   ranked 2,180 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

Thanks! I will try my best to go on and on!

It depends on whatever you want. If you are thinking about money, the university is a plus but in these times it doesn`t guarantee to get a very good job. In my case, I graduate from the university but now I am working in something totally diferent.

On the other hand, the university gives you education, different perspectives of the world. Some classes in my university reminds me that not everything in life is about money.

But, of course all of these depends on the how do you visualize your life.


myLot reputation of 84/100. andy555 (103)   ranked 2,180 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

Thanks for your respond! Yes, maybe we caanot just the value of education by means of money. There are something deeper in education, right?

It would be nice to attend college and graduate the course you have enrolled in the least possible time. Its still one of the number one requirements by companies hiring for new jobs. But sometimes its not always the case. Vocational schools which focused on the in-demand short courses her and abroad is sometimes the best option for any person who wanted to study in a shorter period and ensuring a job after graduated.


myLot reputation of 84/100. andy555 (103)   ranked 2,180 out of 38,533 in life  2 months ago

You are right. MOst of parents in our country prefer toi send thier children to vocational schools becaus ehtey they think that their children can learn something that is useful.

hmm,some people do get jobs who don't go to university. So i dunno. I know a few who have got decent jobs, one who works on the radio and the other who works at a call centre.
