In addressing the topic put forward, I would say that my experience in choosing to work in industry, as opposed to choosing to pursue higher education past a Bachelors Degree has been very beneficial in my particular field.
My field of study and employment is Accounting and Taxation.
Having worked full time for 18 months in Accounting, Tax and Audit I can say that I am happy with my decision to move into industry intead of taking an honours year. I have also talked to HR staff who say that they value candidates who make the decision to move into industry first and are wary of those who are highly academically qualified without any professional experience.
All of this adds up to me recommending those who have studied Business/Commerce/Accounting to get some experience as soon as possible before undertaking further study and considering teaching.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
