“We should graduate with a degree from university in order to get a job". People think that it is natural and it could become the reason to go to university. But my opinion is that university education is a worthless investment because it doesn’t help to get a job. the tuition is also too high for the quality of university education, and In university, we can’t find what we want to be.
When we’re in high school, we study to go to the prestigious university to get high-salaried jobs. It could be the main goal of our life. However, there are a few people who realize it. In addition, the unemployment of college graduates is increasing in reality. Why does it happen? They usually want to get stable and high salaried jobs. However, ironically those who want that jobs come out unprepared for the workplace. So the companies do not prefer hiring them.
In fact, we learn how to think and how to memorize well, but we do not learn real experience for working in the university. In other words, having only good scores in the classes could be unhelpful for getting employed.
In the result, we go out of university for more careers. For example, we get the help from charged academy to get certificate, not from the university. particularly in language department. Also, there are many people who go abroad for enhancing their language skills, instead of inside of college.
In addition , the average tuitions of universities are from 2 million to 4 million won. So it is not inconsiderable to take some classes during 1 semester. However, the price differs widely from foreign countries, particularly Germany. By giving payment, we can just borrow books in the libraries, be a member of club, and store up our knowledges by taking several classes. That’s all benefits for us to be given by university.Also, when we are high school students, we spend our whole time to prepare for entering the university. But, the university is different from what we have imagined and require us too much money as charges of classes.
Consequently, we can’t find our job just losing our money. Most of all, we cannot find what we want to be. Particularly, those who study departs which are directly unrelated with jobs more severely cannot. For example, in language department, there is a merit that the studies could be widely used in unlimited job departments. In the contrary, where we will work, it is what we have to decide by ourselves.
In addition, it is true that it's needed more help to find their future jobs for those who choose universities, not considering what they want to study and to be in future. But, it's not easy to make efforts to find my dream while we study in university because we almost spend time to get good scores; gain a scholarship. In the result, the students who couldn't find them and hope for nothing in future, generally become employees without their desires in their jobs.
Finally, we got to pose a question 'why do we go to the university and 'why do we have to go there?'. In present society, it is just considered as an essential gateway for getting higher position. We have to throw away this wrong thought and got to know what is really helpful for our better life. The university just gives us a name of title without giving help. Therefore trend in which university is where we have to go to get the job have to be changed. The investment in university have to be decreased.

ReplyDeleteI can not help laughing when I read your topic. I hardly remember what I've learned during my freshman and sophomore years. how wasteful the time and money I spent! and they never help us get a job after we graduate university. Any kinds of certificates from charged academy will be more helpful to get a job (this is 100% true). Students who are in high school now should think that what do they want to learn or why do they go to university before they decide to enter a university.
DeleteI totally agree with you. In Korea, we only focus on university's name value not major that we want to go or are interested in. Because of it, we waste our money on useless things for 4 years. After graduating from a university, we do not know what we learn and what to do in the future. Moreover, we don't know how to utilize major because we were not interested in that major and chose that major based on our test score. Korea's education environment should be changed.
ReplyDeleteHello, Eun hye^^
ReplyDeleteKinda I agree with you. However... I don't think university is the place to learn how to get a job or some useful tips and experiences for working. University is 대학 in Korean. And this Korean word means big lesson, and teach. University has to be place for academic purpose I think. It might be same as other good foreign university. They learn some academic things from university and pile up their work experience as an intern in company for their summer or winter vacation. Maybe we have to blame company for not giving work experience opportunity to univ students.
