Uni Mythbusters 4: You won't find a job after uni
The job market is very competitive whether you go to university or not. A degree will help open doors to certain career paths, for example, Teaching, Health Care professionals, etc. However, a degree doesn't have to be directly related to a profession.
Studying for a degree shows an employer you can focus on long-term projects; you are conscientious and can think critically. You will pick up many valuable skills while studying, and not just in the classroom; you will develop social skills that are important for the workplace and a balanced lifestyle. It’s not just about the subject you studied; it’s the skills you learn on the way. A degree is part of your life-long learning and can help you develop the skills to continue your progress wherever you go.
Will a degree get you that dream job? No, that is all you. A degree is a tool in your pocket to help you achieve that goal, and university is the place to gain a whole toolbox.
