In some countries, secondary school aims to provide a general education across a range of subjects. In others, children focus on a narrow range of subjects related to a particular career. Which do you think is appropriate in today’s world?
While secondary schools provide a wide range of teaching materials, in some other countries, learning specific subjects is more advocated. I personally believe that being a jack of all trades will be more beneficial in the future career compared to a focused education in the early age.
There are various reasons why dabbling many skills offers more advantages than being an expert in one particular subject. In the
first
place, people with many skills are often offered with more job opportunities compared to experts. Linking Words
For example
, in my field of work, it is easier to train somebody than to recruit a domain expert. That being said, companies are facing challenges in recruiting a matching skill set of a particular domain. Linking Words
For instance

For example

not always the case.

this
, having a general education is still appropriate for today's world.Linking Words
