Money: Education Vs Job

When you are learning many subjects in school you pay lesser fees and as you start learning fewer subjects (specialization) as you move into colleges and universities your fee structure increases.

As you keep narrowing down your academic specialization you keep paying more to institutes providing courses till you reach a certain level of academic proficiency.

The more the specialization the more you pay in education and get paid in jobs. Right!!!

But when you join a company and turn a new leaf in life as a job-goer the situation gets reversed…

In view of the quantum of work involved, when you put lot of things into practice (multi-tasking) in corporates you are paid higher salaries and when the work profile is narrow with fewer tasks your salary is bound to dip.

The day you join a job, you are given narrowed work for which you will be paid some salary. When you start climbing the ladder of hierarchy you are needed to handle multiple tasks for which pay packages are higher.

Isn’t this an interesting paradox?
