Band 6.5

Some students decide early in life to pursue vocational careers that involve cooking or baking. For them, it is better to study their chosen occupations in high school rather than regular subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some claim that vocational training in high school is better to get a job easily after graduation.
However
, whether it can lead them to the lives they want to live remains a question. I would assert that, before being adequately mature enough to make decisions that would influence the futures of
students
, it is better to apply regular subjects in senior high school.
Although
 studying occupations provide more specific knowledge, in some ways it restrains the development of a student. Taking
students
 in Taiwan as an example, they do not have enough introduction to all kinds of occupations before entering senior high school. If these
students
 choose to study one occupation, they lose the opportunities to realize any other possibilities, which is really a pity. Even if vocational education offers training in every aspect of the chosen occupation, it is usually that
students
 end up finding that
this
 is not what they want when getting elder.
However
, after being out of track with regular subjects for quite a long time, it is difficult for them to switch to another occupational path from scratch.
As a result
, in my opinion,
although
 studying regular subjects puts off the time to do real business,
students
 can have more time to consider thoroughly about their future while acquiring more basic abilities.
In other words
, they can not only choose what they really want to do after comprehensively thinking but
also
 obtain a
second
 chance to transfer to other occupations if they regret their previous decisions.
