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.
People hold different opinions about what
subjects
undergraduates should learn at universities. While some people claim that students
should be tasked with academic subjects
such
as science or technology, I still hold that they should be incentivized to study
subjects
they want to pursue.
On the one hand, it is understandable why some individuals argue that it is beneficial for college students
to study
certain subjects
. To begin
with, being qualified for an academic profession such
as a scientist or technician makes it easier for them to seek jobs due to the high workforce demand. For example
, in the covid-19 pandemic, postgraduates with a bachelor's degree in science may be more sought-after than designers since they are believed to be potentially helpful in inventing new medicines to cope with contagious diseases. As a result
, these students
could quickly find a job and be employed. However
, not every student is willing to study
these academic subjects
as they are quite theoretical and tedious. If they are forced to study
subjects
that they do not like, they are more likely to drop out of school.
On the other hand
, I firmly believe that students
should be free to choose their majors. Firstly
, when undergraduates can choose their preferred subjects
, they will be motivated to finish their course despite some difficulties during the process. Therefore
, they are more likely to have excellent academic performance, which may impress interviewers in the future. Secondly
, studying favourite subjects
helps college students
become more insightful compared to those without passion, and consequently
, they can accomplish their work with proficiency and accuracy. Should it not be for favouritism, university students
will not be inspired to study
comprehensively.
In conclusion, although
forcing college students
to study
academic subjects
such
as science or technology may offer them lucrative careers, I vehemently think that its benefits pale in comparison with the advantages of allowing students
to study
their favourite subjects
in terms of academic results and proficiency.Submitted by happyhihihehe on
