Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard to what they can study at

university

. While some argue that it would be better for students TO BE FORCED INTO CERTAIN KEY SUBJECT AREAS. I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice. There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be useful in the future. They may assert that

university

courses like medicine, engineering and information technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. From a personal perspective, it can be argued that these courses PROVIDE MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES, CAREER PROGRESSION, BETTER SALARIES, and

therefore

AN IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE for students who take them. On the societal level, by forcing people to choose particular

university

subjects, governments can ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered.

Finally

, a focus on technology in HIGHER EDUCATION could LEAD TO NEW INVENTIONS, ECONOMIC GROWTH, and GREATER FUTURE PROSPERITY

.

Accept space

.

In spite of these arguments, I believe that

university

students should BE FREE TO CHOOSE THEIR PREFERRED AREAS OF STUDY. In my opinion, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what they are learning.

Besides

, nobody can really predict which AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE will be most useful to society in the future, and it may be that employers begin to VALUE CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS above practical or technical skills. IF

THIS

WERE THE CASE, perhaps we would need more students of art, history and philosophy than of science or technology. In conclusion,

although

IT MIGHT SEEM SENSIBLE FOR universities TO focus only on the most useful subjects, I personally prefer the current system in which people have the right to study whatever they like
