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.
There has been much discussion revolving around the issue of whether
students
should study
something that they like or something that will be useful in the future. Some people
believe that only subjects related to science and technology are necessary and every other major is not useful. In this
essay, I will explain why people
have different opinions on the same topic and present my way
of seeing this
subject.
To start with, students
should be able to choose what subject they want to study
because people
would be happier. People
are always happier when they do something that they like. For example
, studying a major that a student likes would prevent way
for depression and would help with mental health. So, people
who live in a country where everyone can choose what they want to study
would simply be more contemptuous.
Secondly
, students
should be able to choose what they want to study
because of their capability. Not everyone is born to be an engineer or a scientist. Some people
are simply better at creating art. This
issue would lead to the quality of employees would get worse and people
would not be passionate about their job. It is better to let employees do something that they like, and this
way
quality of a product will be more excellent.
On the other hand
, knowing that the country has enough science and technology specialists would lower unemployment
rates. This
way
, the country would increase their economy and prevent unemployment
rates. For instance
, Lithuania has too many lawyers and this
number is not needed. This
leads to unemployment
, but if students
cannot choose what they want to study
, this
problem will be solved. The country’s economic progress would increase if students
would not have the ability to choose their major and fewer people
would not have jobs.
Having considered both views, I think everyone should be allowed to choose their subject because students
would be happier and more passionate about their major and the unemployment
issue should be solved differently.Submitted by oimigle on
