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 views and give your opinion.

It has often been argued by many, that students in universities should take whichever course they are interested in while others argue that they should take courses that will be beneficial in the future, especially science and technology-related ones. In

this

essay, I will be looking at both arguments. Many people argue that allowing students study courses they are interested in helps in nurturing their God-given talents. They often argue that when students are allowed to do

this

, it fuels their self-directed learning which in turn, develops their particular area of interest to a great extent.

For example

, when Bill Gates was said to have dropped out of Harvard, he still hung around the campus for an extra semester to take courses that interested him the most especially in mathematics and computer programming.

This

could be argued to have been a part of what helped him in his journey to become the computer wizard that he is today.

Therefore

, when students are allowed to take courses that they are interested in, it helps them hone their talents and helps them become the geniuses they are destined to be.

On the other hand

, some people believe that students should take courses that would be useful in the future so as to ensure the continuity of some professions. Because some professions have been taunted to be notoriously difficult, a lot of students are increasingly shying away from it and

this

could lead to the extinction of these professions which are important to the human race.

For example

, studies have shown that the number of neurosurgeons

Hence

Otherwise

, we would continue to see people who see their jobs as nothing but a drudge.
