Should college students choose their field of study based on the availability of jobs in that field? The speaker claims so. In my view, however, that college students should base their choice of a field of study on both their own interests and the availability of job in that field.
Admittedly, looking forward to the maximize profit is taken for granted, since education is a stake in our future. It is earnings to the investment in the college education to find a good job. Therefore, considering the career prospects of the field is natural, when choosing a field of study. On the other hand, students face with higher employment pressure that before in that regular higher education is accessible to the majority of young people. Thus, more and more students choose a field of study based solely on the availability of job in order to fining a good job after graduated in the spirited competition.
If, however, everyone considers the field of study in the college as a preparation for the future career, many problems will arise. First, almost all the graduates flock to the few job looking like have many job opportunities. This is a logical result in that the cognitive abilities of the common people are similar and that the development of the future is unpredictable. It can be seen clearly from the hot of lawyers, MBA, and so on. As a result, these popular jobs can become saturated quickly, and thus many people cannot find a good job in these fields and have to change their occupations.
Second, if students choose the field of study only based on the availability of jobs in that field, as an individual, a student will lose the fun of developing his/her own interests. It is painful to study without interests. Therefore, some students may be addicted to network game in order to airing their pains. There are many such examples in my university. As a result, they still cannot find a good job but dally away the valuable four years.
The education of university is not only prepared for employment, but for the development of students' ability of self-study and though. Therefore, students should choose their field of study based on both their own interests and the availability of jobs and develop interests in certain subject, and make the best of such opportunity for it will not easily meet him/her again in his/her life if he/she miss it. The interest is the best teacher, and it can help them to find the career that is best for them. Given that his interests cannot meet the need of society, he can support himself by various ways, such as learning a practical skill.
In sum, it seems true that the students should choose a field of study based on the availability of job. However, students cannot ignore their interests since interest is the motion of study. Thus, the best way is that students should put the interests first while taking into consideration the availability of job when choosing a field of study. |
