Are these two sentences correct?

(2) I will be better off if I learn something unique to meet the demand of the market.

Answer

For question one, it depends if you actually intend to leave it. If you do and have another job lined up, the sentence is fine. If you do not plan to leave and are just thinking about it, I would say "I would be much better off..."

Sentence two seems good to me.

Answer

I'd say sentence (1) was correct - you might leave out "much" but that's more of a style thing than actually incorrect.

Sentence (2) is also correct. The only suggestion I'd make would be to change "demand" to "demands". Both are right but I'd say the plural is more conventional.

Well done! :-)
