CALLER 4

Correct answer: A university education improves your career chances and broadens your horizons.

Caller 4^th doesn’t agree with people who says that university doesn’t give you what you need in everyday life or skills for particular jobs, university broadens you horizons and opens up opportunities not only in jobs, because some jobs are only open to graduate, but also in meeting people with opinion different from yours which influence you. Concluding, he thinks that university proves your career.

CALLER 5

Correct answer: University education has given us politicians and inventors who have made this country great.

The last caller opinion is education isn’t only about getting a job  or a job training workshop but it form a person and this culture brought a lot of great minds, such as layers, doctors, teachers, judges or everyday people who uses their experiences and learning to help and benefit others.
