In our modern day and age, young people seek core academic specialities in
university
 to provide themselves with better future career opportunities. Some social bodies argue that manual skills and carftships
such
 as carpentering, plumbing and mechanics should be taught in universities. I believe the decision to choose a major in tertiary education should be based solely on the student's wishes and talents. In
this
 essay, I will give my opinion on
this
 topic. Nowadays, the work market is highly demanding and most
university
 students gravitate toward choosing a career path which has a rewarding future in their personal and professional lives.
For example
, 75% of high-school graduates choose either engineering, law or Medical-related specialities because these majors are associated with higher social status and are thought to be financially profitable.
Moreover
, most youngsters are pressured by their parents to study these majors at
university
.
However
, remarkable scientists who had passion and excellence in their domain, have changed our lives. Most discoveries in physics and advances in technology were made by people who thrived in academic environments and loved experimenting with new things.
However
,
while
 academic studies are appealing to most members of society, other crafts and manual jobs
such
 as carpentering, plumbing, cooking and tailoring are important and every neighbourhood needs a professional in
such
 jobs.
Furthermore
, an article in the New York Financial Times reported that an organized plumbing business has an estimated annual income of 450,000$ which is three times higher than the income of a nurse or a civil-right lawyer.
In addition
,
such
 jobs are passed down from one generation to another in a family which makes it more about family and heritage than just a paid job. In conclusion, choosing an educational path in
university
 should be based on the student's own wishes and desires. Families and educational figures should provide advice and guidance to young people to help them make the best choice for their future careers.
