Some higher-learning students are saying they want to combine their majors with optional subjects,
whereas
 others think it is crucial to focus on acquiring
one
 degree at a time.
Although
, widening the range of their skills may prompt them for tougher job markets and allows
fields
 to work together; I believe it can potentially increase unemployment. A main feature of the modern era is the rising demand for a mixture of skills. Employers are nowadays increasingly specific about what they look for in a candidate, which is often a balanced combination of traditional knowledge in respective
fields
 and technological expertise
such
 as computer skills.
Therefore
, it is reasonable that undergraduates are feeling pressured to obtain several qualifications to succeed in a highly competitive job market in times of high costs of living. It
also
 makes it easier for more traditional
fields
for example
 sociology to cooperate with technology-related
fields
 to preserve trees by reducing their paper-based materials.
On the other hand
, encouraging undergraduates to pursue several qualifications in
one
 go may come with a higher price for society. As students who can manage to study more than
one
 relevant subject are intellectually superior to most of us, making them significantly attractive to employers as they can fill more than
one
 position.
While
 competing with these superhumans, the remaining students can be at great risk of losing focus on their main subjects leading to sub-average grades, or even failure.
Consequently
, they might struggle to get hired by popular companies
such
 as Apple and Google, which adds to the growing unemployment statistics. In conclusion, despite boosting an undergraduate's chances of landing a suitable job and easing much-needed cooperation between
fields
; I personally believe
this
 benefits a smaller number of people,
while
 it potentially affects negatively on society.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
