Whaddya Think?
Do you think going to university/college
is important for success?
Interviews and photos by Jennifer Boylan
Tanya R, 17
I believe that it isn’t what you know but who you
know. I also think that if you work hard and are very
ambitious you can be just as successful as a person
that went to university.
Kaytlin D, 15
Yes, because a university degree will show that you
are hard working and have the knowledge to do well.
University allows you to expand your knowledge on
a topic that you are interested in and prepares you
for the future. The competition for employment is
very competitive, so a university degree can only put
you a step ahead.
Nicholas B, 17
Being successful has more to do with being ambitious
than with knowledge. If you go to university I think
it is important to go to a well-known school that
everyone has heard about and has a great
reputation. University can help you become
successful, but you also have to rely on your own
determination and hard work if you want to be
successful.
Natalie C, 14
No, because some people I know didn’t go
to university and they are successful. I don’t believe
that in order to be successful you need to go to
university. University costs a lot and not every
person can afford to go. Most kids that can’t afford it
try for scholarships but there are very few
scholarships offered.
Erika R, 17
Yes, because employers will see that you are
experienced and interested and dedicated to your
work. A university degree will allow you better
opportunities for employment. I think in the future
all businesses will require you to have a university or
college degree.
Alysha D, 16
Even if you go to university you are not guaranteed a
job when you’re finished school. I know from
experience with family friends that
sometimes businesses may not hire you even if you
have a university degree.
Julie H, 14
Yes, because if you go to university people will
respect you more and realize that you are hard
working and intelligent. I think you will have a better
chance of receiving a high paying job and a job you
love. University will also give you the experience of
meeting people from all different cultures and people
that share the same interests as you. I also think that
university may give you connections that you may
not have received anywhere else.
Ashley M, 17
Yes, even if you have a degree it is sometimes hard to
get a job, but I would rather have a university degree
because it still allows you to be a step ahead of everyone
else.
Zack K, 17
Yes. I think university is a great experience as it provides
you with the education you need, and allows you
to meet new people. It makes you more independent
and allows you to grow up.
