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 the views and give your own opinion.

It is undeniable that which choice of major that university students should make to ensure a prospective future career has been a topic of discussion for years. While some people believe that it is best to let students freely choose what they want to study at university, others claim that only subjects which are related to

science

and

technology

should be favoured.

This

essay aims to discuss both views and

then

give the writer’s opinions. On the one hand, there are an array of reasons why some people believe college students should have freedom in choosing whatever subject they enjoy.

To begin

with, the idea that students can pursue whatever they truly desire at educational institutions makes learning no longer a struggle but

instead

a pleasure. In fact, research has shown that a majority of college students who are able to study subjects of their choice enjoy the learning process and

therefore

achieve higher academic performances.

On the other hand

science

odern world, students should arm themselves with suitable knowledge of

science

and

technology

in order to land a decent job in a competitive labour market. In fact, as almost every area of development is related to well-developed

technology

, there are higher demands for these job vacancies and if students fail to show these skills or expertise, finding a good job can be a real challenge.

Furthermore

, as

technology

and

science

are the backbones of a country’s economy, it is clearly beneficial for a country with lots of skilled workers with high levels of technological expertise. In conclusion,

although

the idea of letting students choose whatever major they like may sound plausible, I believe that they should only major in

science

and

technology
