It is often said that getting a university is the most crucial factor for success in life.
Some might disagree with this statement because attending a university or college does not guarantee one’s success because real success depends on one’s hard working.
However, I firmly believe that getting a university education is most significant for success for two reasons: to get a better job and to develop social skills.
To begin with, getting a university plays large role in having a promising job.
It is common that when people have satisfactory their own job, they are more likely to be successful. Of course, many companies have different preference and perspective, but these days, most companies put a highly value on undergraduate degree when they hire employees and even require higher score on GPA. To demonstrate, according to the Ministry of Labor of Korea in 2006, people who had a university degree got three times more job that they wanted to than those who did not get a university degree.
In addition, people can be more likely to improve their social skills by attending a college. This is because, modern society requires people to have not only professional skills but also well- rounded personality. To succeed in this competitive society, People have to develop their social network and equipped with the most up-to- date information. Getting a university can help these things. In university, people can have more chances to meet diverse people and get information by joining a club or organization. By getting along with group members and socializing with them, these activities allow people to develop their interpersonal skills and exchange valuable information each other. For example, when I was a sophomore, I joined a study group. At first, as members of group were not familiar with each other, we had a hard time adapting the group. However, as time goes by, through lots of discussion and research activities, we can share valuable ideas and thought, we could get easily latest information and learn respect other’s opinion. This was very helpful for us to broaden social net work.
In brief, in my opinion, getting a university has a positive impact on a person’s success.
People can get a good job and valuable experience by attending a university.
All in all, importance of attending a university cannot be underestimated in this modern society.
