Where should be after High School?

THESIS
The National examination result will be publicly
announced in next short time. Euphoria will
flood for those who get success. In the other
hand, It will be sorry to hear that there are some
of them do not succeed in their national final
examination. For those who succeed soon will
think to decide; where will they be after
graduating high school? Actually it will be easy
to decide for those has been arranged and
thought earlier but for those have not planed
yet, it will be quite confusing..
ARGUMENTS (1)
Continuing study or looking for work is the primary
choice among them. When they think about
continuing study, they will think hard about the time
and cost. How long the higher study will last? And
how high is about the cost. In the same way, when
they think about straightly seeking job, what skill
and competence they have got is a big matter of
questioning. So, doing both choices in the same
time is an alternative.
ARGUMENTS (2)
Continuing study as well as seeking job is possibly
done but it will be hard for them. Conventionally
studying in the university needs much time to spend
especially in the first year. It is true because they
have to do and adapt a lot of things in their new
higher school. it will be very hard to looking for
job. Therefore it should come to their mind of
continuing studying at higher school from their own
home. As result, the available time will be more
flexible for them. Then it will be very possible to
seek job and get the appropriate one. This type of
studying is publicly known as distance learning.
RECOMMENDATION
As the alternative method of studying, besides the
conventional studying which students and the
lecturer have to meet in the fixed time and place
regularly, distance learning provides possibility to
grow better. Possibly working and studying surely
will create high quality graduate. Distance learning
should appear as a considerable choice for them.
