Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer.

One of the widely discussed issues is that some people believe that universities should graduate students with all the knowledge they need for the future workplace, however, there is an alternative opinion of those who instead have a notion that knowledge should be taught for its own sake. This is undoubtedly that a university degree is an essential part of people's lives, nevertheless, everyone wants to contribute their labour properly to have truly meaningful outcome in their life, not just a diploma that they can show to their future boss, who will presumably choose someone with a background of experience in a real workforce, rather than a student.
