I am a secondary school student and recently went to an information day at Chinese University.self storage I was taken aback by how many people there were queueing up for various talks.It is clear that young people in Hong Kong still attach a great deal of importance to receiving a university education.This attitude is also reinforced by schools which do their best to get their students a place in a tertiary institution.However, many teenagers pay a huge price, having to overcome the hurdle that is the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education.And when they finally secure a place, they have high hopes of a bright future with a successful career. But I wonder how many will achieve these goals.The number of graduates has been rising annually for the last eight years.This means the 迷利倉ob prospects are more limited unless you studied something like medicine or the law which leads to a profession.Other graduates will face severe competition when they try to enter the job market with peers who also have degrees.They also face stiff competition for good grades as undergraduates, especially with more young people coming here to study from the mainland.I still believe universities offer young people a very good opportunity to further their studies. But we should not assume a degree will automatically lead to a glittering career.People need to pick their career path and then decide how best to acquire the skills they will need, for example, securing a summer internship to gain more experience.They have to take a step-by-step approach.Mike Lo, Tseung Kwan O迷你倉
