What will be your advice to two friends who have just finished from college, one is considering furthering her education in the degree she has gotten from college, the other says she has learnt enough from school and rather than looking to further her education in the degree she has gotten from school, she is considering learning a good skill that she considers will be highly sort after. If it will cost roughly the same amount of money for the both of them to go with what they like and both choices are prospective, who would you advice to reconsider, and who would you encourage to continue?
It is always best to master what you have acquired if you are going to go on the path of career development. Having more specialization of your course will ensure you a better position while taking another course will give you lots of job options but won't assure you of a higher position especially if the competitor holds master's degree or PHD. Though further education can be taken in the later years, it is always better to have it early.
But of course, if the point of view and interest is taken into account, your friends must do whatever interests them. Taking learning of things without interest won't have the same effect as learning things that interest you most.
