Post #11: Working Vs. Studying

Working in a company and learning at school are not completely different like most of the people thinks. If you look closely, you can still points out some of the very obvious similarities.
Even though working and studying occur in different places and perhaps in different times, they still have a lot in common. For instance, whether if it’s school or work, you still get orders from a higher rank. In this case, a teacher or a boss both has the power to control lower rank like a student or employee. Another example is that you have to be at school/work on time and follow the instructions. It is necessary to agree and follow the rules so we can ensure that the task or assignments are done with the best effort. Both learning and working can be very beneficial, the student/employee learns new things and take experiences from mistakes. It doesn’t matter that a person goes to school before getting a job; they still have many similar characteristics.
               On the other hand, there are obviously a lot of differences between these two concepts. The first unfair difference is money issue. Employees get paid for doing their job at work, while students have to pay for accomplishing educational tasks at school. People can wear whatever they want at work as long as it is appropriate, but students need to wear a specific type of uniform in order to blend in with the others in class. Another unfair point, only graduated students with diploma can find a proper job. Since students are under 18, they cannot get a diploma. However, there is a big difference when students go to school. Students do not pay for nothing, they pay to learn, do test and finally, relax by having a great 3 months between June and August summer vacation.

               In conclusion, they are same but different. Working and studying almost have the same overall job, which is work and earn knowledge. However, they serve different purpose. One to earn money, the other earn educational things.
