Education - How Important is Your Education For Jobs?

Honestly, this is a tough question to answer. Everyone has had this same question run through their minds, always wondering if the school they went to was good enough for their first job. The answer to this question has to do with how hard to pursue your goals. How bad do you want it? These are important aspect to whether or not you will get that first high paying career right out of college.The best way to secure a well paying job right out of college is simply by going to the best possible school you can get into. Think about this one. Schools are different, whether you like it or not. And Harvard University is definitely better than Sacramento State. If you are very smart, and not very outgoing at all, then you will want to be the once at Harvard. This is because when applying for a job somewhere, you must remember that you are not the only one going for that same position. Hundreds, maybe thousands of other student are applying for the same job. Now, put yourself in the employers shoes. Would you interview all of them? No! You would simply go through and pick the ones you think have the most potential. And, unfortunately, goodbye Mr. Sacramento State...Stanford and Harvard looked much better. So you need to go to the best possible school you can go to if you are not outgoing. Because employers will not even give you a chance if you have not even met them before.

Now, all this talk about being outgoing...what does it mean? It's simple. If you are one of those people who talks to everyone constantly or has no problem asking questions, introduce yourself to some of the top management within the company which you want to work. Now I know this sounds a little frightening at first, but honestly, they know that too! And to them, this is very impressive. Tell them you are very interested in working with the company and why. Make sure you know your stuff.

Both of these are essential when looking for a job, and, if you have both, you're golden! Bottom line is...go to the best school you can go to, and be outgoing. If you don't do one, then do the other. Something needs to make you stand out.
