Band 6+: Some people believe that a country can benefit a lot from university education. Others believe that sending a large number of young students to go to university leads to unemployment. Discuss both views and give your opinions.

Note: Both the topic and the essay were created by one of our users.

One school of thought holds that college education should be beneficial for a nation while others argue that excessive university attendance can cause unemployment. Both viewpoints are valid, but I prefer the latter.

On the one hand, university education can be beneficial. People who study at a college are popularly qualified for intellectual jobs, which often bring relatively high salaries. For example, software engineering, one of the trending jobs that is taught at universities, is in high demand and the monthly salary is often at least thousands of dollars. Moreover, many people going to universities can produce more jobs for professors and teachers. It is therefore believed that university study can be advantageous.

However, I side with those who advocate the disadvantages of substantial university registers that could lead to unemployment. This can be attributed to the fact that there is a fixed ratio between white-collar workers and blue-collar workers and the demand for intellectual vacancies is tiny. Hence, it is difficult and competitive for many students to find jobs. Moreover, the university curriculum is hard and not anybody can follow that; therefore, some people are likely to be unemployed due to their lack of competence. For example, also in the software engineer job, it is difficult and requires much effort to become experts, additionally, the demand for this job is really low; as a result, many people are out of work currently. Instead, alternative choices such as vocational training are better, due to the high demand and their shorter required training time. People are likely to get a job immediately after finishing the course, securing them a consistent income. Clearly, substantial university attendance can have many drawbacks.

In conclusion, while studying at a college can give people opportunities to do intellectual jobs that have higher income and produce more jobs for professors and teachers, I believe many people going to universities can be detrimental as the demand for these jobs is tiny and the curriculum is hard to follow, bringing them the risk of unemployment after graduation.
