Take Job or Continue Graduate Education
Some students want to work after they finish their undergraduate study. They think they have learned enough for their future professions and it's time to get on in society to have their ambitions achieved. On the one hand, they may apply what they have learned at school to the jobs they will take; on the other hand, they may earn money to support themselves.
Others would like to continue to receive graduate education. In their opinion, it is very necessary to further their education in that they like to be better professionals in the future. Some of them plan to devote themselves to scholarship. With the development of society, more and more high level personnel are in urgent need.
If I choose, I will continue my graduate education first. I want to be well-trained and then become a qualified person in life.
