Going to university does open many opportunities. Research reveals that the majority of graduates find work when they leave university and that people with an 'A' do better in the job market than graduates with a 'B' or 'C'. Recent reports show however, that a degree may help to find a job faster but it is not a necessity. DMG Co. explains: "A university degree may be the right thing to do when specializing for certain professions, for example in medicine or science, and for someone who is looking to continue their studies towards a Masters degree or PhD. Many employers however choose experience over classroom-style theory. They look for people who have dealt with real situations and gained practical knowledge," continues a DMG Co. spokesperson.

The demand for an experienced workforce is rising in the US. DMG Co. explains that combining theory with practice creates a win-win situation for both employers and students. Statistics show that employers in every industry are looking to hire, train and retain a skilled workforce. The advantage for students is that they can earn while they learn hands-on.

DMG Co. concludes that in order to make a decision students must think about what they want to achieve. "It is important for everyone individually to answer some questions for themselves: What do they want to get out of it? What skills are required for the job? Is it necessary to have a specific grade? May experience be of higher value for their dream job?" By evaluating the end goal, students can identify how they can get the most out of their education.
