Shouldinstitutions actively encourage their students to choose fields of study thatwill prepare them for lucrative careers? In my opinion, students should choosethe major which they are interested in and good at instead of some hot majors.

First of all,students could benefit a lot form studying in the fields in which they are mostinterested. For students, learning the knowledge which they are interested inis a pleasure thing. This pleasure will give them great enthusiasm which willstimulate them to study hard. By paying more efforts than other students, theywill have better academic performance and eventually graduate with honors. Itis expected that their excellent performance in the colleges will give them a competitiveedge over other students when finding a related job in their fields. Doing whatthey like to do will help them succeed more easily in their coming career.

Additionally, alarge number students’ crowding into most popular fields will bring about aserious of problems. Even if there is a large demand for talents in these fieldsnowadays, after several years the gap between demand and supply would disappearand these students would found it is difficult to find a job. Moreover,colleges have to cut the funds on other fields since they need to employee moreteachers and buy more equipment to support increasing courses in these popularfields. It is expected a decreasing number of students and less research fundswill cause a decrease in overall academic quality of the colleges. If eachevent, the possible results may be counterproductive of the original purpose ofencouraging students to pursue the lucrative fields.

However, fromthe standpoint of students, they should take into accounts job prospectssimultaneously when choosing fields. After their graduation, students need tofind a job to support themselves. In some major such as literate or film art,students may need to find a job of other field. For them, it will be helpfulfor them to choose some courses in other fields and develop employable skillsduring their college year.
