Model Answer 1

Getting a good job in this competitive world is extremely difficult. Some people believe that getting a degree from university is the best way to get a good job. However, some people believe that it would be better to go straight into work and get an experience instead. Let us expand on these details. I believe that a degree as well as work experience are both mandatory to secure a job nowadays. Getting a degree is the basic qualification that is required by any company or firm to hire a candidate. Some companies have a policy of not hiring candidates if they do not hold the requisite qualifications. For example companies hire software engineers if they have a degree in IT, Computer Science or any other relevant field. The relevant experience in the field can be an additional benefit in this case. However, there are also cases wherein no degree is required. For example people that work in businesses, entrepreneurship or opening a restaurant. There are many small scale businesses in India including handicrafts, carpet making, etc. These businesses do not require a particular degree. Moreover these are only based on hands on experience of the employees. Such businesses however, do not have a fixed timeline. They may gain profit at some point while at other times the profits might dip. Therefore it can be somewhat said that experience and education vary as per the nature of the job. I however, believe that a degree and relevant work experience is paramount for a good job in this competitive world.

Model Answer 2

Education is fundamental in today's world and is therefore an apex for getting a good job. Some people however believe that only work experience is sufficient to get a good job. I believe that only work experience can get people good jobs, but the chance of it is minimal. People with experience and no degree can also sometimes start with menial jobs and then further move on to good jobs. People are also of the opinion that the time they might spend to pursue a degree can be utilized by getting hands- on experience.

In fact several people overseas are known to get good jobs not because of their educational background but due to their hands-on experience. In India however this has still not gained momentum, as here people stress more on the importance of degree. Big MNCs never hire candidates unless they have the required educational background. Having a good degree can get candidates a job anywhere. Holding a degree is the minimum requirement of every company, especially in India. To get a good job in the field of engineering, medicine, science etc all require a degree to get a good job in the industry. I strongly believe that a degree and work experience are both essential to survive nowadays. A degree can open the doors for some amazing opportunities and the work experience can further create a plethora of opportunities. Thus, both are equally important.

A good degree can create manifold opportunities for candidates looking to secure a good job in the industry. It is often debated whether candidates should pursue a good degree or directly get hands -on experience. People believe that the time they spend on getting a degree can be effectively spent to get the required work experience. I however, disagree with this as I strongly believe that candidates must get a good degree. After getting a basic degree candidates can also go for higher studies. After pursuing higher studies candidates can get a job in any of the fields they desire provided it is relatable to their degree. Also, in India, getting a good job without a degree is nearly impossible. Such candidates can only get jobs in the field which have a learning curve. For example a sales representative in a store can be hired with a minimal experience and educational background. The job requires strong communication skills and the rest can be learned at the job. There are other such jobs like a hairdresser, electrician, peon etc., all require minimal education experience and have more to do with their hands-on experience. Even though it is a popular belief that candidates must get a degree to get a good job, it entirely depends on the nature of the job that people are seeking. People working as a hairdresser and electrician consider their jobs to be good. In such cases the work experience is prioritized over educational qualifications. Thus, it entirely depends and varies from one person to another and is decided accordingly.
