Early career and second innings in higher education.

When youngsters take up jobs much early in their life, their higher education expectations get halted and many are found to be stuck between the pressures of their work and the compulsions of their expectations.

·         How advantageous is it to quit their jobs and go for studies?

·         Are there ways to enjoy both work and studies?

Early employment is the order all over the young world, and higher education aspirations of many are found to be taking a beating when they are pitted against the compulsions of their work. In this context, hanging up the shoes for studies offers a couple of advantages. Anyway, there are other alternatives.

Having a second innings at a college is like revisiting a dreamland. For example, higher education phase of one’s life is the most beautiful one and, if one is lucky enough to get back to books and bags and labs and libraries, obviously, there will be great dividends awaiting him or her. Some may get the chance to face the same teachers or go to a different college with a different set of teachers, training, tasks and tests, pleasures and performance. It will be a pack of advantages.  But not many are up for such a fortune.

This stalemate can be ironed out in a couple of ways. It is good press for flexi-time with the employers and manage time between studies and careers. For example, IT-aided work is very common among many and they can very well handle both.  Besides this, what if one picks up some online programmes with contact sessions off and on? It would work. Apart from these, workers may switch over to part-time for a couple of years. Obviously, there would not be any need for sacrificing one’s higher education escapades.

In short, taking a second stint at higher education ambience is really beautiful and beneficial. However, it is good to pursue both by adopting one of the ways suggested here. The employers and higher education centres can go for a concerted move towards this, for formal direct higher education cannot wait much in life.
