What is higher education worth if to be able to get a job a person needs an amount of experience to be able to get a job. Then again some jobs ask for very high education plus a lot of experience. To think of it is kind of silly when trying to come up with a good answer.
For starters we are told throughout our childhood that we need to get an education to be able to work. But then, when it’s time to apply, what the job really ask for is experience. Then after that, when it ask about education, it’s saying a must have of things a person needs to know. I been to a school for graphic design, have little experience but I have I know my way around and I learn things easily. So do I really need to have years of experience to be able to work. Why can’t it be an education and then be train on the job. Wouldn’t that make the new employee easy to mold into the perfect worker. But then I could just be complaining I can’t find a job in my field (Graphic Design). Even though I could apply for a copywriter position since I’m a writer, and it’s a great pass-time for me. But of course when I look up these jobs they ask for an education in writing.
Is it that important to really have an education if a person is able to do the work? But what if the person has all the education in the world but has no experience, what then?
Like I stated earlier I could just be complain because I have a limited experience in my field of Graphic Design, with a two year education status. But I am also I writer, which I believe I’m good at, but I have no education background on it. So I’ll just post my resume later and ask for opinions. After all I am a self learner, and I learn things quickly. For example: for one of my typography classes I needed to do a infographic, which I’ve never done one before, but on that same day as I worked on it the end product like I’ve done infographics before.
But really, what is the point of education when what they ask more of having experience?
