The Education may be key to the humanity but not necessarily to employment. Specially in under developed countries like Pakistan the Edcuation not often lead to good job. Its is also fact that education and partical experience have very much differences and not aligned. People talk about the importance of an education.
Those striving for a degree need to consider not only their major, but - like the Real Estate Industry - location, location, location. Along with location, another important consideration is online school versus
brick-and-mortar school programs.
brick-and-mortar school programs.
Educational Interests vs. What is Marketable
Education is not the only criteria companies look for in a potential candidate. Experience and personality are marketable assets and play huge roles when competing for a job.
If you can afford a higher education, that’s fabulous. Learning new ideas, techniques or theories is a grand ambition. Just be wary in what subject you choose and what the employment market is like. For example, if you live in a service-oriented or known retirement city and want to stick around, don’t expect a Masters in Biochemistry or a Doctorate in Architecture to be of much use.
Focus more on Hotel Management or Geriatric Studies. If Architecture is your dream, you may need to move to a different state to get a good paying job - or any job for that matter. Just keep in mind that you won’t be alone in your endeavors.
Should You Go Back To School?
Some people will go back to school in order to obtain a second or third degree in a currently perceived affluent industry and luckily grants and loans are available for such actions. However, one type of grant, the Pell grant, is not applicable for those who already have a Master’s Degree or higher, so don’t look for any help there.
For most people, education comes at a high price, both in time and expense. Only you can determine if the price you are willing to pay is worth it.
Higher Education and Job Outlook
Those with higher education are being passed over when it comes to lower paying jobs, whether the person is over-qualified for the position or never even stepped foot in that particular industry.
In a shaky economy, most hiring managers will not take on an individual with a higher degree then the supervisor. There is also the belief that the higher educated individual will not remain if a better paying job comes along. But then again, who will?
What is not always considered is that, in a recession, most people - no matter the age or education level - will take any job available. Why? First off, blank timeframes in employment are a deterrent. The longer you remain out of work, the harder it is to get a job since it is perceived your social and professional skills have dulled. Secondly, and the most important reason, people will take what they can get simply because some income is better than no income.
