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.
There is no doubt that universities play a crucial role in building our

, it's hard to imagine a society
without transport and infrastructure facilities like trams, bridges and subways. There is going to be a shortage of these key workers if the choice is left to the students.

the drive to excel that has to come with pursuing their passions will disappear.
In conclusion, although
it's critical for universities to continue supply society
with professionals in fields of technology and science, I feel that this
choice should be left with the students so as to develop motivation and excel in their work.Submitted by arunabee on
