A Way of Self-improvement or an Escape?

   Nowadays, a popular trend of on-the-job people returning to university has aroused people's concern. Some return to university with the aim of escaping from reality, while others desire for self-improvement. From my perspective, I firmly agree with the latter.
   Firstly, people should return to university to gain special skills that are more career-oriented. Having been on the job for many years, they know better which professional skill they are deficient in. What's more, the diploma and advanced knowledge they get will contribute to pay rise, promotion and new employment. Additionally, they can make acquaintance with more elites. Students of great insight can learn from each other and optimize their resources available.
   Those who return to university to escape the pressures of work and life should face reality for reasons below. First, it is a waste of time and money to stay on campus without concrete goals. If they devote themselves to their jobs, they will gain greater achievements. Moreover, they are likely to miss opportunities of promotion or work training. In addition, since they will have to confront pressure again in the near future, it is useless and even risky to consider the university as an ivory tower.
   In view of the discussions above, on-the-job people should return to university for self-improvement rather than for escape.
