While some people argue that students should be forced to learn subjects that will be useful in the future, I believe that it would be better if students could study the courses of their choice.
There are various reasons why people assume that universities should offer just the subject areas that will useful in the future. In digital century, people may think that courses such as information technology, business management or even medicine and engineering will more practical than art subjects. Because these courses would bring better lives of students with more job opportunity, career progression and high salaries. On the social level, by forcing people to choose particular university subjects, government can ensure that any knowledge and skills gaps in the economy are covered. Additionally, focusing on technology would lead to new inventions, economic growth and greater future prosperity.
Despite of these arguments above, I believe that student in university should be free to choose their interested areas of courses. Firstly, allowing students select what subjects they are fascinated would motivate them being studious to get the best outcome. Secondly, we all do not certainly know what skill or knowledge would be preferred in the future, so that could be risky if students choose the wrong subject areas. For example, the employers could value creative thinking skills above practical or technical skills in the future; if this was the case, students focusing on art and philosophy would have more job opportunity than on science or technology. Finally, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what they are learning.
In conclusion, while it may seem sensible if universities focus just on the most useful subjects, I believe that students should have the right to study whatever they like.
