Is advanced education worth?
Question: Some people think the qualities a person needs to become successful in today’s world can’t be learned at a university or similar academic institution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
As the resource of education becomes sufficient, more and more people are offered the chance to enter universities to acquire advanced studying. While recently some people have started to question whether college or similar academic institutions can provide the knowledge to help students become successful in society nowadays. This essay will discuss the two opposite opinions, and provide my own perspective.
Most of the students only learn basic and general knowledge from primary school to high school. As a result, universities are usually the first place for students to obtain professional knowledge in specific areas, and that knowledge tends to be more related to students’ work and can increase the chance of them to become successful in the future. For example, a survey of graduates from Harvard University reveals that around 76% of graduates consider that the knowledge they learn from college or the same level academic institutes is more useful than the knowledge taught in high school, middle school, or primary school.
However, some people disagree with the idea. Universities and education institutes always require students taking a certain amount of major courses and general courses, while forcing students to attend courses they are not interested in might limit the time that student could put in the field they are passionate about. Take the founder of Apple Inc, Steve Jobs, as an example. After quitting the university, Steve Jobs claimed that he could spend more time studying the subjects he like such as calligraphy, and he eventually utilize what he learned from the calligraphy class and design beautiful fonts for Apple’s computer.
In the essay, I have discussed the different opinions regarding the question of whether advanced education can help students be successful in the future. In my point of view, university education does empower students abilities, however, students should also know their own interests and passion, so that they can utilize the resources provided by schools to lift the chance of being successful in today’s world.

UK Graduates Work Destination
The two bar charts illustrate the four categories of career destinations of two groups of UK students in 2008, with the above one indicates graduate students and the below one represents postgraduate students.
Overall, the number of graduate students in UK was almost 10 times bigger than the number of postgraduate students in 2008. Besides, both graduate and postgraduate students in Britain had the least number of people attend voluntary work, and most of them chose to have further study.
For graduate students in Britain, only 3,500 students participated in voluntary work in 2008, which is nearly 10 times less than those who entered higher education, while the number of students doing part-time job was close to the number of unemployed students, with the number of 17,735 and 16,235 respectively.
Regarding the occupational destination of postgraduate students in UK in 2008, students who worked in part-time jobs were almost as many as those who chased for more advanced study. However, only 345 postgraduate students, which is about one-twentieth of all postgraduate students joined voluntary work. In addition, there were 1,625 postgraduate students who were not successfully employed.

The Life Cycle of Salmon
The diagram briefly demonstrates the life cycle of a fish species called salmon. First of all, every salmon's life is started from its eggs under the reeds and small stones in the upper river, where water flow is moving relatively slow, and it often takes about 5 to 6 months for the fry to get mature enough to come out of its egg. The fry is usually very small, with the length between 3 and 8 centimeters, and it tends to stay in the lower river area for approximately 4 years until it becomes smolt, a stage before fully grown up and usually with body-length between 12 and 15 centimeters. After turning to smolt, the fish will move to open sea and stay in the area for around 5 years in order to become an adult salmon. Finally, the mature salmon will go back to its birthplace, the upper river, to give birth to its next generation.
