Text A: It is worth going to university
you only get out what you put in
access to fantastic learning resources
it's not just universities that have fantastic learning resources
experience is the best way to learn (eg. business)
latest research
lots of universities actually haven't updated their research
just Google it or read specific publications
leadership skills
some people are natural leaders, don't need to go to university for this
not a guarantee if you don't put yourself in leadership positions
communication skills
communication skills can be built outside the classroom / lectures
experience in administration
high chances of finding a job/further studies
it's not worth the risk of spending 10 years learning something then if you don't get a job, you are just sitting at home
not all jobs require a degree
a degree is not always enough, you need to be up to date with tech, extra qualifications, apprenticeships, multiple languages
having connections is often more valuable than a degree
sometimes you need work experience BEFORE university
guidance in your chosen specialisation
just getting the degree is not enough, you still have to do stuff after that to be successful with it
expert feedback
loans for tuition and living costs
debts are difficult to pay off if you don't get a scholarship or high-paying job
industrious students can develop themselves
career weeks/career advice
not everyone wants a career, I just want to live my life
Text B: It is not worth going to university
you don't want to study something you might regret
just because you might regret it does not mean you should discourage someone else from learning; learning is always valuable
some careers don't need a university degree
but if you haven't learnt enough before you start working, you can have bigger problems down the line
useful as a back-up for the future
school and exams can be overwhelming
you can prepare for this to manage the stress of exams, etc; many strategies available
teaches you how to deal with stress in other areas of life
feedback from these exams is very helpful, even if you are afraid of failing
massive debt
does not know their career path
university might help you make this decision
find something you really love
work experience might be more valuable than theoretical knowledge
the long process of going through university helps you build lots of other skills apart from what you need for a job
entering the workforce earlier
jobs without degrees have less security so you may not always have it
this is not always a good thing, especially if it comes from peer pressure
having a high-paying job from a degree is not important for everyone
maybe, but it will also affect the people around you, and your future relationships
university does not suit everyone's learning style
there are alternative places apart from uni where you can learn valuable skills and lessons.
these are also applicable in university
