Do you agree with this girl about going to university?

She said, you do not go to school to get a job, you go to school to get a job you love that is high paying.

Because if you just want a job, Burger King would hire you with no experience or education.

I think she's wrong on both points. One goes to school to learn things, become more educated, so that you can have a positive effect on society. Going to university sometimes makes it easier to get a job, and one you like, but not always.

Thanks for MHO

Some people go to a trade school to get a good job. Others land in a good job. It helps sometimes going to a university but even then nothing is promised

Thank you for MHO

While I understand her perspective, going to university is about more than just getting a high-paying job. It offers intellectual growth, critical thinking skills, and personal development. For many, it serves as a foundation for pursuing passions, leading to a career that aligns with their interests and values. University can provide networking opportunities and resources that support one's career and personal growth. It's essential to balance aspirations for both fulfillment and financial success.

I think it's rare to find a job that is truly lovable, whether you went to school for it or not. Work is a tedious grind unless you're honestly doing something that you would be doing with your time anyway, even if you weren't getting paid for it. As for making money, it just depends what opportunities are available in your current location. White collar jobs that require further education definitely aren't the only way to make money, and student loans aren't cheap to pay back either.

I completely agree with her.

But I never had much luck in getting a good job.
