Many people feel that the successful finding of a job is the end of their schooling. This idea is rarely true, however, as each field of work requires a thorough knowledge of it. This may go beyond that which could be learned in high school or university. Universities, with their complete curriculum, are intended to first teach us about everything. Later studies fill in the gap of knowledge by offering more specialized courses. Universities, however, are meant to teach the theories of any particular field, not the practical knowledge needed to do our jobs. The rise of vocational school has risen to fill this gap of practical knowledge. Vocational schools can aid us in this by teaching us to be especially good at one thing. If a person has enough health and energy, as well as determination, he may go to Night School or take a self-teaching program. With the successful completion of the program, a certificate of qualification will be given. Professionals, such as office workers and others, are in stiff competition for pay raises and higher positions. This certification will aid them in their advancement. The danger of additional schooling, however, is weak time management. The burden of work and additional schooling must be measured against the needs of the worker’s family. If these can be balanced, the use of a vocational school will be a bonus for his career.
听看学
许多人认为成功地找到一份工作就预示着学习阶段的终结。这种说法是不正确的,因为工作的每一个领域都要求掌握和它相关的一整套完备的知识。这很可能会超出高中或者大学里所能学到的知识内容。拥有完整课程体系的大学,都会首先教我们全面的知识。之后的学习通过提供更为专业的课程来填补之前的知识空档。然而,大学被认为是应该教授任何特定领域的理论知识,而不是教授工作所需的实践知识。职业学校的出现填补了实践知识的空白。它能够在这方面通过使我们特别擅长于某一方面而给我们以帮助。如果一个人有足够的健康和精力并充满毅力,他可以去读夜校或者参加自学项目。成功完成某一课程后,将被授予资格证书。职业人士,例如办公室职员和其他工作人员,为了加薪和升迁而处于激烈的竞争之中。这种证书将帮助他们得到晋升。但额外学习的弊端在于,它使得人们无法有效地管理时间。工作和额外学习的重担必须与员工家庭的需求相权衡。如果这些可以得到平衡,选读职业学校就会对未来事业的发展大有裨益。
