The article talks about benefits that we can get and the comparison between studying and
working. The author’s tones are neutral and serious on sharing every information in the article
unbiasedly.

Firstly, the author discusses the cost issues associated with studying and working,
suggesting that individuals should focus on finding jobs first then pursuing education. The
author said that many jobs prioritize experience and skills over education requirements, so it
is essential to replace time with another job to get that dream job. The author also suggests
minimizing education costs by attending classes daily and returning home.

Furthermore, any successful career requires high skill development. If we go straight

into the workforce, looking for employment with the potential for long-term growth is beneficial
so we do not have to change employers and occupations frequently. While in school, our
objective is not just to success in academics, but also need to build useful skills. This is to
demonstrate our unique qualities and why we are a superior candidate for a job.

Moreover, build networks. In the workforce, networks are built by the recommendation
of people. The more people recommend us the wider our network will be. If we choose to
further our study, we can build our professional network by participating in volunteer groups,
social events or any activity that lets us meet and mix with new people before jumping into the
workforce.

We partially agree with the author that we can choose to go for a job instead of
education for our generation nowadays. This is because this matter cannot be practiced in our
community. Many high school students choose to look for a job because inspired by Steve
Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg although they did not have better education yet.
Education is important because if we have a good education people will look for us without
any hesitation. Lack of knowledge also can result in a person falling into poverty because they
have not enough knowledge to overcome it and at the same time can lead to an increase
crime in rates. Therefore, young generations need to prioritize education if there are no
constraints.
 In conclusion, we stand with our point that education is important in our life and future.
Indeed, in work life also need an education. Therefore, one of the criteria to success and solve
something precisely is knowledge.
