Returning to Further Education is a Better Way to Look for Work?

yes, it will be an additional feather on your cap. go ahaead and take all the opportunities where you will gain more and advance your career. sometimes this is included in giving you a promotion, an additional salry or increase and other benefit having advance education. cheers!

Hi browser,

If a person wanted to study more a job won’t be a hindrance. She/he can study further with the job and there are many opportunities available now. If a person lost the job and return for education, it depends on the person’s financial background, if somebody there to help him/her then it won’t a matter otherwise I don’t think people will go for education instead of a job. The person will definitely look for a way of earning first then only think about further the education.

I took a course three years ago but it hasn't got me a job.i suppose your experience and skill also counts.If education can improve your chances of a better job or career I'm all for it.I feel with my experience its better to acquire skills which have a practical value.The new course that we take should be in demand so we can get a job after completion.

My relative wanted to pursue further education. She worked for two years during which period she did one distance education degree, saved some money and now she joined proper college to do another useful degree. After this she wants to do doctorate in that subject. I feel it is thoughtful action.

Hi,i recommend to go for higher qualification.Ofcourse the system of getting jobs in India is not so hard for qualified and there is job gaurentee for most of the times.And also it is additional positive point that experience with higher qualification attracts companies.I know many people who get success in this way.
All the best and have a nice time.

It's amazing for me to read this post(some of ur posts in fact),coz I can not find even slightest sign to figure out that ur native tongue is not English.
Now back to ur point.
I think I'm the one belongs to the crowd that will not continue education.
Firstly,I'm a guy likes to face the reality,I take going back to school as a negative way to handle with the tasks that we encounter.
Scendonly,I assume that walking on the common steps is one of expressions that show
u are mediocre and piontless.
SO,I'd rather fig out method to solve with it even that will trap me into another task.

Deciding to take further education is not always the best way to get a job since you would also be needing to consider lots of things like your age. If you are on you late 30's i think it would be quite too late to take further education since when you graduate you would be around your early 40's and i think most companies would not consider hiring someone who is nearing his/her retirement age.
We also have to consider that some companies would not accept people who are overqualified for a certain position since they would not like to pay extra for a certain job where they could also just hire anyone to do the job and pay him/her a lower salary. It actually depends on the situation. I have even heard that some doctors even went back to school to train to become a nurse since they do not even earn enough income from being a doctor and they know that nurses even earn more than they do even if they already spent lots of time in school already.

I think many people would go back to school and train for a new profession if they could afford it. When they were working, many people have just enough to get by and nothing extra for tuition. When they lose their job, they have no money at all and can't even make ends meet so where will they get money to pay for school?! It's a vicious cycle.

We had a "stimulus" that spent billions and we "saved or created" jobs--each of those jobs cost us taxpayers $230,000!!! Better to give out of work people that money to put them through school and support them as they learn, then we'll truly have improvement.

hello get browser

I don't know, it needs more money,time and resources to get into this another further education thing. well, i congratulate for those who had secondary education right after getting a college degree but as for me, i think it's a lot more expensive than it's supposed to.some have done it and get barely the job they need from that additional education.

When I was 20 years old I was working for a ship brokers as a container marketing controller. Sadly I was made redundant. So I let out my home and got a working holiday visa for Australia. Whilst there I worked as a children's nanny and I began dreaming about possibly becoming a primary school teacher. When I came home just over one year later I went into further education to get an A level in English Literature and a General Certificate of Education in Maths. Those qualifications and experience helping out at a primary school helped me get on to a degree course. I am now a primary school teacher. So therefore I would say further education can help someone that loses their job and has to move into a different field of work.
