Education or Income Generating job, which will you chose first?

[JoyMarsha]

Education will be the best to choose, but looking at the present world settings, I think I will choose income-generating jobs.

My reason is that there's no promised job to be given after education, and those who are educated end up having a low-class job that is owned by uneducated beings. Those who didn't pass through the four walls of education but were rich, to employ the educated ones to work for them.

However, if I could have an income-generating job and work for years, I believe I would save a lot of money that I can use to start up my own business, which, in the end, I can employ an educated someone who will work under my command. I can choose to attend any school of my choice, if there's need for it, while I also earn and run my business together

We can understand the significance of gaining valuable working experience and receiving monetary income though employment means that people will be ready for the future challenges more while taking the necessary steps. Selecting employment during the process of saving for our business ventures makes a lot of sense, and in the process we can gain knowledge and contacts. It means that education is an effective tool which we are able to regulate time to get necessary results at needed moment. By using our work experience, increased knowledge and leadership skills we can expand possibilities to achieve more successful long-term results, occupying the positions of both, entrepreneurs and successful professionals.

I don't know of others but for me it will be the greatest mistake of my life if I choose education over well paid job. Education is good if you have the chance to attend then better but you must make sure you are very sure of a nice job after schooling if not you are at the point of square 1 starting from the scratch. There are many graduates in my country regretting spending their money and years in school.
But I haven't seen anyone making good money without education seeking to even leave their job and go to school.

In the world now money is the answer not education
Education is no longer the key.

take a job first then go to college if career advancement in the company requires a bachelor's degree for one position, because currently if you take college first there is no guarantee that there will be jobs in my country, where there is an age limit for new job applicants passed ,
So I prefer to work first if I have the opportunity first

Yeah bro that's exactly the truth. In my country people are flaunting their certificates any how on the streets looking for job that won't worth what they studied as a course in the school just seeking for survival, there are many graduates who are now looking for jobs more than the ones who did not even attend a basic. I really feel bad when I see graduates explaining themselves to people to show how severe they have sought for jobs in every nooks and crannies. My advice is if anyone has a job, hold it very tight before education far as you can read and write you are not an illiterate, even if you are but has the money no one would have the god's to come and tell you to your face that you are an illiterate instead their are graduates craving for the attention of some illiterate millionaires.

Re: Education or Income Generating job, which will you chose first?

This will depend on the person answering for this one because there are some people out there that can't afford education at first hence, they prefer finding a job first, save their income and then going to school to finish their education. There are some though that are going straight and study and then they will find a good job.

I'll be a bit bias with my answer because I graduated from College. I will always choose finishing education first then finding a job. I mean in school, they will teach you the fundamentals that will shape you in the future. They will equip you with knowledge that will help you find better jobs along the way. They will not teach you step-by-step of course but at least you will have an idea. Finding a job will be easier if you have finished your education. I'm not saying though that finishing education is a requirement for us to find a job because I've seen people that didn't finish their education and yet, they had a job and some even became successful ones as well.

If you finish your education first, the opportunities are limitless hence, I will go education first then finding a job.

i do think that this is because of the system of the world not that education is useless now but we have to take a step back and think why is it so hard to find a job nowadays even if you are qualified

fresh graduates find it hard to find jobs because companies are looking for people with experience already and if you have none of that you will find it difficult to apply for anything aside from that there’s really lack of job opportunities and it is something every government should look at and maybe changing education curriculum can help in making sure that students are properly equipped for the workforce

Both education and job are very important to an individual, for instance you need to be educated and it will serve as your guidelines in any job you have, on the other hand you need money for the education, therefore you need a well paying job for you to earn a living and also you need more money before you engage yourself in any educational sector, as long as you don't have any sponsorship, or unless you receive external financial assistance, Education and a well paying job are important for an individual's growth and success, education provides the foundation and skills necessary for a successful career, while a good paying work provides the financial stability to pursue further education and improve one's growth.

[_act_]

It all depends on us, I can tell that I have seen an educated fellow with many qualifications but couldn't have any potential ability at hand to make him succeed in doing or running a business, this becomes a big issue for them and makes some to remain being poor because they are on the same spot over a long time, while on the contrary, we can still discover about some other people who are working tirelessly in making an effective use of their opportunities, either on a job or in the field of academic learning, all that we can do today is to learn to combine all together and build on something credible from them, anyone equipped of the required standard will always be given priority of maximizing the two altogether.

Well, the title says it all already, so yeah, assuming you have two options and you are only supposed to make one choice, what would be your choice ?

Between to accept a well paying job and to go to the university and take a foure years program, which will you accept and why do you think it will be better choice for you?

The fact is having a good paying job is good but that should not make you to play down the role of education in life as it is key and very essential in how far you can go in life so if I have the opportunity of choosing between the two I will choose going to acquire knowledge in the university because education is key and goes a long way in the making process of any individual who's serious about making impact

Indeed the importance of knowledge and education can never be overemphasized and most people would also preferably choose to acquire knowledge over taking up the job, but then again, there are several things one needs to first put into adequate consideration before making a choice. For example, in a country where getting a sound education is rather expensive you need to first ask yourself if you’ve got the required resources to see yourself through the whole programme, or you just wanna first go in and then face whatever that comes up head on?

Without a solid financial backup when it comes to school and education, you’ll encounter several problems and challenges that’ll make you even lose your concentration in your academic responsibilities which of course may likely affect your grades. If you have the financial resources and backing to pursue a degree, then of course, but if you don’t, the best option would to take up the job, save up for your education and in the future you can still enrol either for full time or part time course, and you’ll still earn knowledge and the degree, it’s like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
