Would you rather study or start working as soon as possible?
As in some people say you got your whole life to work, why not study more, what are you going to do in the outside world, and others say start working as soon as possible.

Would you rather waste years studying or start working as soon as possible?
The fact that you've used the word "waste" in your question makes you own viewpoint fairly clear.
If working is so great they wouldn’t have to pay us to do it.

Studying doesn't earn you money, why get into debt from uni? Working earns you money, what does studying do? Does your head in and if you study academics you will hardly get a job in it will you?

There are things in life other than work and money. Arguably they are more important than either if those too.

Why do you think studying is a waste of time?

Why do you think studying is a waste of time?
Because I hardly ever hear people get jobs after studying as opposed to someone with experience.

Just because you don't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Plus, some jobs require you to study for certain qualifications, doctors for example.

Unless it's law or medicine, it is a waste of time and effort and challenges you for no reason. Like degree level study is hard and not everyone is clever enough.

So you're basically insulting apprenticeships and thinking everyone should go to uni? Not everyone is clever enough for degree level study.

It depends on the field you plan to work in. Some jobs require degrees to practice them.
The thread title is a good example of why further study, in particular English language and research methodology, is useful.
If you’d gone straight to work and done a customer survey with similar wording then the results would have been useless.

Not at all, I think apprenticeships are brilliant. But they are included in the category of ‘study’! (You didn’t specify university level. And anyway, you can get degree apprenticeships).
The point I am making is that you have to learn more to earn more. You can be earning money whilst studying anyway, and move onto higher paid jobs as you become more qualified.
Over a lifetime you will earn more if you have training and qualifications. Even if you only work part time for a few years whilst studying.

Because teachers, doctors, nurses, plumbers, electricians, lifeguards, opticians, physios, the etc etc never got jobs after studying?
