As is vividly shown in the cartoon, for college students, choosing what to do upon graduation can be a tough decision, to say the least. For the vast majority of students, the choice is among finding a job, pursuing postgraduate studies, going abroad, and starting one’s own business. Below the drawing, there is a caption which says: “Choice”.
When making this decision, students should consider a variety of factors, including their personal preferences, financial status and career plans. The first factor that they should consider is their own personal preferences. Some students may have entrepreneurial ambitions and dreams of running their own business. The second factor that undergraduate students should consider is their financial situation. Some students can afford the tuition fees of postgraduate studies or studying overseas, while for others the expense would be too heavy a financial strain. The final factor that students should take into account is their intended career. Students who make the wrong choice could be faced with gloomy career prospects, or end up wasting their time and money.
When it comes to the decision by university graduates of their next step in life, there is no one right or wrong choice. Instead, each student must make his or her own decision. With due consideration of personal preferences, financial status and career goals, students can improve their chances of making an optimal choice. (228 words)
