Some people think secondary school students and high school students should be allowed to choose academic courses leading to university or practical courses leading to careers such as carpenters. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

There are a lot of people that suggest that after graduating from high school,

students

can have the opportunity to choose what they wanted to study

such

as academic or practical courses. In fact,

this

is how the most applied education system around the world function. I partly agree with

this

saying. On one hand, once a student chooses one path, it might determine how one enters society as their future occupation. But the problem arrives, whether

students

around 18 years old have enough maturity to decide their future at that

time

.

For example

,

students

tired of studying turn to start working as a carpenter, they might find it fun in the beginning. After a long

time

, they start to feel bored and found out that their income is relatively lower than other professions

such

as a doctor.

Overall

, we can see that if juveniles can make decisions without thinking thoroughly about the consequences, it might lead to they will regret it in the end.

On the other hand

, the education system that insisted offspring should enter the university and

then

choose what to do after graduating will waste their precious

time

. Practical courses

such

as paper making need

time

to build up a reputation

as well as

learning till they can fully master.

For instance

, a scion that has lots of interest in passing down traditional making skills will need to waste 4 years in university, eventually wasting

time

and money for nothing.

To conclude

, if

students

can choose freely, they have the opportunity to go after their dreams without wasting

time

going through academic courses which they did not need. In conclusion, I admit that

students

should have the chance to decide their future.

However

, the consequences of regretting after a few years are too heavy that can destroy the younger generation. In order to avoid

this

, I still believe that

students

should take the academic journey to obtain general knowledge before entering the industry as

this

can minimize the probability to have dismay about the life they live.
