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 on the subjects that university students should be allowed to

study

. While some people think that students should only be able to

study

subjects that these people think will be valuable in the

future

like science and technology, I believe that students should be able to choose their area of

study

. For many people, restricting university students to subjects like science and technology is an easy argument to make. The main reason is that these kinds of subjects contribute visibly to

society

.

For example

, improvements in medicine rely on advances in medical research, engineering, and computer science and technology. Only allowing students to

study

these kinds of subjects will mean that there will be more people available for work in these areas. While the benefits of more graduates in these kinds of useful subjects are clear, I believe that it would be a mistake to only allow students to

study

these subjects.

This

is because

society

is not able to accurately predict the

future

and what kinds of skills that people will need for jobs.

For example

, there may be entirely new fields created that need a strong artistic ability and solid writing skills. If students are only trained to be good scientists or engineers, they may not be able to succeed in these new fields.

On the other hand

, if we allow students to choose their major,

society

will be able to better adapt to the

future

. In conclusion, while it may seem reasonable to force students to

study

subjects that are currently viewed as useful, I believe that allowing students to choose what they

study

will help

society

be better prepared for whatever changes the

future

will bring.
