ome 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 people claim that vocational training in high

school

is better for their children to easily get a job easily after graduation.

However

, I am sceptical about whether it can really lead these promising

students

to the lives they want. From my perspective, I believe that studying at a vocational

school

at

such

young age would confine the potential of

students

because they might be fixed on the only path

instead

of exploring the infinity of probabilities throughout the whole period of vocational

school

.

Although

studying vocational schools provide more specific knowledge and skills for a chosen career path,

such

as cultivating expertise in baking or cooking, in some ways they restrain the development of a student. Taking

students

in Taiwan as an example, they do not have a general understanding of all kinds of occupations and career paths before entering senior high

school

. If these young

students

choose to focus on one occupation, they lose the opportunities to realize other possibilities

such

as being marvelled in science or literature, which is a real pity. Even if vocational education offers training in every aspect of the chosen occupation, it is usually not uncommon that

students

end up finding that the occupation is not what they want as they get older.

Furthermore

, since vocational education sacrifice the courses of liberal arts and sciences, it is predictable that adolescents who are under

this

kind of education have difficulty switching to other career paths from scratch after they disregard the regular subjects for quite a long time.

As a result

, in my opinion,

although

studying regular subjects puts off the time to start the transition from campus to society,

students

can have more time to consider thoroughly about their future while acquiring broader abilities.

In other words

, they can not only choose what they really want to do after more careful consideration but

also

enjoy more possibilities to transfer to other occupations if they regret their previous decisions in their future.
