Starting job during studies or after completing Education.

I would love to hear from bayt users that do they vote for doing job after completing university education or during completing education one could side by side gain experience and then finally continue the job.

Based on my opinion, as long as someone can manage both of the study and job, s/he can take a job. It will be benefit if someone gets experiences before graduation (during study). Study enrich knowledge, Job can train soft skills (altough the job is not related to the education, it will be a good preparation for someone to the real work world). It is like killing two birds with one stone.

If your job pertains to your degree then it would be in your best interests to take the job for the simple fact that when you encounter a certain topic in class, you would have the hands on experience to properly answer the topic and relate to. Many times people prefer to work after they finish studies, and most often they are left with no experience to talk about in class or even ask the proper questions.

It depends on the situation. If anyone gets the job in any multinational or international organization then he or she can go for joining to job because job is very competitive. If any complete post graduate, it does not ensure a good job. On the other hand, if anyone do not get a good job, he or she can complete the studies.

I'm in my fourth and last year of education , and my second year at work.

I believe it's great. After graduation, its much better to enter the business world with a little experience that you gained . Not necessarily to know each and everything thing that you must do, because you worked before. No, at-least you will now be able to deal and communicate with the business people in the very right way, your not a beginner anymore.

best judgment may not be made by anyone,,,, but only only the person who is in the phase of thinking this because he knows what exact condition he is living in,,,, (those who can afford quality education (rich) can never compromise on education...they can not even think of leaving thier studies incomplete,,,,but it is only poor who thinks about it because his poor condition makes him think hard about this) so it depands on your financial position (preferably do job after completion of your degree)

if you can afford to study without having to work rhen I suggest complete your studies first. If you need practical experience first complete the undergrad enter the job market to gain experience then continue with honors and masters. PhD studies can be resumed later

In the US a lot of education is combined with "internships" that allow students to gain useful experience for employment after graduation. However, this is not the case in all parts of the world. Additionally, the "community service hours" required by students during high school also helps US students with future career preparation so I am for the concept of seeking experience during education. This recent article further supports the need for combining education with some type of experience in order to increase chances of successful employment afterwards.http://www.thenational.ae/uae/teens-have-few-options-for-pre-college-work-experience-in-uae
