Some people say that to get success University education is essential while others don't find this true in today’s scenario. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Intro
(General Facts)
It goes without saying that tertiary education is a requisite and indispensable level of education. However, whether it is imperative to get success or not is highly debatable.

(Paraphrasing)
Some individuals are of the opinion that tertiary education is a key component to climb the ladder of success in life. While others opine that university education is no guarantee of success in the contemporary world.

(Thesis Statement)
In this essay, I intend to delve in to both arguments before forming an opinion.

Body – Para 1
(Main Idea)
The first school of thought claims that to get a good job university degree is must. Having a college degree opens up the doors of opportunities. A degree simply proves that an individual has gone through the necessary training and understanding to carry out a job. That is why lot of MNC’s
around the world have kept college degree as a criteria for recruitments.

(Supporting idea)
What is more, there are certain professions such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and architects which are very much dependent on university education. No one would go to an uncertified doctor who may prescribe the wrong medication or give a wrong diagnosis and no one would hire an architect to build his house only to have it collapse.

Body – Para 2
(Main Idea)
On the flip side, the opposite camp is of the opinion that having a degree does not equate to success. They deem that more than a degree it is actually the personal traits of a person which decides success. Virtues like honesty, integrity, creativity and hard work have a much bigger role to play to be successful in life. A degree does not indicate in any way how a person will function in the real world. Practical experience is more important in the present scenario. Even today’s employers give more importance to these traits while hiring.

(Supporting idea 1)
Furthermore, they cite examples of people who made it big without any university degree. For example, Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell dropped out of college at 19. Henry Ford never graduated high school, but went on to start one of the largest automobile manufacturing companies in the world, Ford Motor Company.

(Supporting idea 2)
Last but not the least, in the field of entertainment or sports nowadays, people with talent only can achieve success. The requirement of degree in such fields is not that necessary.

Conclusion
To conclude, according to my point of view the attributes to become successful in today‘s world do not depend on a university degree. A degree is just one of the criteria of success and not the only criteria. For me, talent still has a slight edge over degree hence more important to be successful in life.
