Which one to use, hard or harder?

1. Either you should study harder, or you should take a different course.
2. Either you study harder, or you work in the shop.

Do we have to use "harder" in the 2nd sentence too. From the 1st sentence, it's clear from the second clause that a boy is already studing hard but his (supposedly) father want him to improve and thus advices him to study harder than before or take a a different course. But in the second sentence, he is being asked to take his studies seriously or he'd be given a job in the shop.
Shouldn't we use hard () instead of harder (comparative)?
