Considering the various view points on the basis of which the opinions differ between career oriented and academic oriented students presenting here a table of opinions.

S.No	Basis	Career Oriented	Academic Oriented
1.	Employment – The career choice	Students make a choice of career oriented subjects that will help find an employment marking a beginning of a well paying job.	The moment you call it academic, which means they are subjects which are chosen not for making an earning instead due to interest and love for trying out new subjects.
2.	The onset of career	Well due to the focus and attention offered together with the choice of subjects chosen, academic oriented students start career oriented jobs much earlier.	Given a time period after completing their graduation or post graduation as the case may be, career guys hold more number of years of experience when compared to academic students.
3.	Satisfying Pay	Their focus and attention to end up in high paying jobs definitely serves them right with every single attribute towards a serious career	Academic students have a hazy start which becomes clearer with growing experience in unique areas of interest; they also tend to get paid well. Again, the term satisfaction is a relative term, which differs from person to person and hence need not have monetary match
4.	Job security and fringe benefit concern remains the same	While the earning aspect may seem pretty much satisfying and even better, given the other concerns such as job security and other benefits it remains the same irrespective of their choice of interest	Percentage of satisfaction on the terms of job security and fringe benefit remains the same irrespective of academic or career oriented individuals.
5.	Career Jumps	Career oriented individuals make their choice of career right in the beginning of their studies and accordingly settle in a particular area of employment continuing in its regular course of promotions and recognitions.	Academic oriented individuals as said earlier choose the most abstract of courses and end up finding a career in them, while some succeed others don’t. It makes it necessary for them to opt for a career shift to make a living.
6.	Monetary Compensation	When talking in terms of money, career guys make it to their target without any doubt, proven the success in their choice of fields.	Academics especially in the field of education, monetary compensation and the consequent satisfaction comes after the benefits and security offered by the field of career as such
7.	Higher Education	Individuals who aim at making money will hardly be interested in pursuing higher education as they would call it as loss of experience and money for a period of two or three years.	Statistics reveal that academic oriented students form a higher percentage of those who pursue and complete their higher education as job and the its related experience is considered at a later stage by them.
