Nowaday, in order to survive in this competitive society, many people think that university education is one of the major elements leading them to a better life. However, in some people's eyes, tertiary education is not important at all. There is no doubt that this is a debatable issue, of course, both have brought postive and negative impacts to individuals.

Some people strongly believe that tertiary education secures their future as the chance for them to be offered a job is higher. This is probably true as acedemic qualification is one of the major criterias taken into account in a job interview. Clearly in this sense, more people would pursue further education after high school in order to acquire more knowledge and skills which are essential for their future. Professionals such as doctors, lawyers and accountants are required to go through few years of teaching and training before working. There is no doubt that such professions would have a secure job and a suscessful life, yet they work unfriendly hours where they hardly see their friends and families. Neverthless, suscess amd triumps do come at the expense of time and youth.

On the other hand, some people claim that people don't have to spend time in universities because certain occupations don't require academic qualification, especially those which require skills. In fact, they think that those jobs are more enjoyable on top of a decent pay. A very good example, Steve Job, who dropped out from university had a suscessful life by interventing technological products such as computers, telephones and tablets which have brought a lof of convenience and joy to the society. This has shown that university is not necessary in order to obtain a suscessful life as long as we work hard.

To sum up, it is probably true to say that suscessful life is a very subjective term. Some people think that is means money and luxury, but some people might want to have more time for themselves and family despite of a decent pay. Therefore, it is totally up to inviduals what do they want to pursue in life, a better academic qualification with a secure job or a job which emphasises more on skills rather than academic quafications.
