College students should be encouraged to pursue subjects that interest them rather than seek programs that promise entry into the job market.
------正文------
Should college students be encouraged to pursue subjects that interest them rather than seek programs that promise entry into the job market? Someone may prefer subjects that promise entry into the job market to what interest them , after all, good job is necessary for one people, especially who may be poor. However, I strongly agree with the speaker, for three reasons, just as below:
The first reason why I agree with the speaker is that I have question of "which major is more easier to enter into the job market? Somebody may refer to law, economics, and computers, which seem to be hot major now. Yet I don't think so for three reasons. Firstly, high technology are developing so quickly in modern times that can influence the job market greatly. For example, just twenty years ago, who would believe that the computer technology can develop and affect the society as well as what it is now. Secondly, with the growing up of economics, job situation change so greatly just in some years that it is hard to anticipate the situation in future when the students now leave school. Thirdly, even though existing hot major, students may be influenced by his or her parents and teachers, who might have a incorrect thinking about job choice.
The second reason why I agree with the speaker is what related with interests and the purpose of education. In my view, the purpose of education is to help the students become autonomous, creative, inquiring people who have the will and the intelligence to create our own destiny. On the other hand, just as the words "Interest is the best teacher", only if people can major in what his interest is in, he can try himself in the study with initiative and creative; otherwise, many students may lose his or her interests in study and do something else, deviating from the purpose of education, and even drop out of school. In my class, some of my peers, who go into the university without interests in his major which was considered as hot major, does not study hard and just indulge in playing games, which may resulted from the wrong choice of major.
The third reason why I agree with the speaker is that history is replete with people who succeed in his field that is his interest and not only for easy job. Thanks to choosing his career as a biologist for his interest instead of doctor advised by his father, Darwin finally discovered the theory of evolution. Einstein discovered the relative theory and said that interest is the best teacher. Chern Xingshen, one of the greatest mathematicians now, when asked why he choose mathematics as his career, just said that because it is interesting. Thus, if evaluated by the career resulting to great achievement, interest is still the criteria for choice of career.
On the other hand, one pursues subjects that promise entry into the job market, which he dislike, even would be successful in the field, it still is only a work rather than interest. And more often, those who go into the hot market cannot achieve great success but only survive.
In sum, I agree with the speaker since that interest is most important in not only education but also career choice. It is a proper way to keep balance in education and job in future is the specific knowledge job requiring can obtained from training program, freeing up our educators to help enrich students' lives and knowledge he or she is interested in in ways that will serve them in any walk of life. |
