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.

With the 21st century having importance of science and technology, there is

discussion about whether students in university should be better to choose
subjects
related to science. I believe giving the right of choice to students is more important. On the one hand, some
people
argue that every student in college should learn some
subjects
which would be useful in future. In fact, the industries
such
as engineering, medicine have advanced continuously. So,it is necessary for surviving in stiff competition. Having an ability and acquiring knowledge about these
subjects
would offer
job
opportunities, career progression and better salaries. and it would lead to a life of good quality.On the societal level, countries can nurture talented young
people
who have inherent ingenuity, which would bring benefits
such
as developing new invents.
Also
, the country’s economy would grow up.
Nevertheless
, young
people
in university should be free to choose their major. It would be the
last
gateway to decide directions where they go in their lives. Most workers work a
job
related to their major.Again, there is a high possibility that the major would be their
job
in their lifetime. If they just make a choice which is forced by society, they might live depressing life.
On the contrary
, if they have the freedom which can choose what they desire, they would work passionately and enjoy and concentrate on their
job
. From the social point, it would make a healthier and ideal society.
Moreover
, as forming various kinds of professionals, all areas evenly would develop in future. In conclusion,
although
it might be reasonable to focus on prospective
subjects
which is useful in future, I personally prefer that
people
have the right to study whatever they want.
