120. “It makes little sense for people with strong technological skills to go to college if they know that they can earn a good salary without a college or university degree.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. 1Admittedly, it really makes no sense for people with strong technological skills to go to college if they only want to make a living, since they can earn a good salary without a college or unversity degree. 2However, the university is not only a place for people to learn something to make a living. If so, that is meaningless to establish an university. Universtity is where we can learn not only knowledge, but also the approach to gain new knowledge and new skills that will benefit us all through our life. 3Moreover, one can not earn a good salary with only one kind of technology for a life long time nowadays. That is possible in the past, however, facing a so rapidly developing century, we can not expect to depend on one certain skill. Without improvement, without innovation, no one, even if the best technicist, can "survive". Universities provide us with exactly the efficient way to accquire new knowledge and skills.
