I basically don't agree with the claim "educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed".
To educational institutions, perhaps success is just defined as a career success and verifiable attainments in areas( pay, work performance, position, etc) are its indication. Admittedly, job success is of crucial importance in this modern society full of competition. Often, the high position and good work performance keep accord with the high salary. The economic base determines the superstructure. Without a rich salary we might not afford to pay for our daily demands, such as health insurance, house loan, education courses and so on. And a responsible person has to achieve success to support his or her family. Therefore, in order to make students "responsible", educational institutions dissuade students from pursuing fields of study easy to make a success seems understandable.
However, can educational institutions really tell and judge which fields unlikely to succeed? Every field has numerous illustrious individuals, even in those areas which are often defined as "unpopular fields". Indeed, the applicability of some pure theoretical fields, such as mathematics, philosophy, is much less broader than those applied fields, thus graduates of these areas get much less possibility of success than ones of applied fields. However, "less" does not mean "unlikely".
Just understand the claim as "institutions should dissuade students from pursuing fields of study with low success rates" , however, these pure theoretical areas, playing a fundamental role in applied areas, still call for students pains to develop. Provided that mathematics became poor, It is really hard to imagine how the orbital function of a satellite can be calculated. Without a precise orbit a satellite cannot function well. Therefore, the efforts in these fields of study are highly required. Once educational institutions do it just as what the claim suggests, the aftermath would be extremely serious and even the development of all the fields would go inactive.
Therefore, it is highly suggested that educational institutions provide the job backdrop and leave the option of fields to students instead of dissuading them from pursuing fields of study with low success rates. The development of society and science requires all kinds of people with professional fields. Just as Cannikin Law, society is the cannikin and professionals are the plates. The volume of the cannikin always depends on the shortest plate.
1.开头实在是不会写，想把成功的定义写在开头，可是不知道怎么写，放在第二段吧，还是不知道开头怎么概括一下全文，所以...呵呵
2.总觉得再写一段成功真正的内涵，可是这样主体段就成四段了，时间也不允许~~很矛盾~~
