Is it true?

A university degree no longer guarantees success in the job market. Is it really a fact? Sooner or later I will be dealing with this challenging question. What shall I do with the rest of my life? Is there a future waiting for me after this course I take? I feel like the youth who said: “What I consider to be successful is maintaining the comfort level that I grew up with.”

Like others, I also dream of improving my financial lot in life, to be able to pay back the career that my parents and family gave me through education in order for me to achieve a real fulfillment. But is there more to success than material gain? To attain so-called success, career climber must often compete with one another in a life-and-death struggle for recognition. Nevertheless, is a college degree always worth the huge commitment of time and money it demands? Researches indicate that college degree earn higher salaries and suffer less unemployment than high school graduates.

Nowadays, the demand of call center agents (as an example) with at least has the skills in oral communication is increasing. As a result, a college degree holder is just a plus factor because this kind of job is not usually requiring a degree for as long as you are good in verbal communication and willing to take shifts. In view of these facts, the quantity of university graduates employed in line with the chosen field declined.

Because of this, many youths have decided against a university education. Many have found that training and experiences has given them a real edge in finding employment. Though not possessing a university degree, such youths learn to be poised at expressing themselves and quite capable of handling responsibility. Many youths disdain working in their hands, but the Bible dignifies doing hard work.
Employment prospects and educational systems vary form place to place. Youths have different abilities. And while a career in the business world is recommended as being advantageous, it is still a matter of personal choice.
Choose your career carefully and prayerfully, so that it not only will bring personal happiness but will enable you to store up treasures in heaven.
