College students should be encouraged to pursue subjectsthat interest them rather than seek programs that promise entry into the jobmarket.
It has been debated over the topic that whether collegestudents should seek programs that promise entry into the job market shouldpursue subjects that they like. Although gravity is a real problem, that everycollege student is facing, especially when we are in the recession, collegestudents should be encourage pursuing the programs that interest them. No onecan predict which program will be popular for the job market by the time thesestudents are graduating. Besides, learning the subject the students are reallylike can provide them a more promised future.
One cannot deny that finding a job is important to everycollege students. For some people, one of the main reasons that they want tospend four years in college is that they can get a decent job after graduation.It is understandable that increasing tuition, student loans, unstable economyare driven students to more profitable industries. However, it probably notworth it if one have to sacrifice his or her own interests to get a degree fora program that he or she does not have a passion for, and build his or hercareer upon that.
A major issue of pursuing a degree simply for job-orientedis that no one can predict which degree is most inadequate in the job market bythe time the student is graduating. Most programs require four-year commitmentto study; however, the economic situation keeps changing each year. Before2008, most people think those who enrolled in construction andarchitecture-related majors would never be hard to find a job, since peopleneed buildings. However, the recession came; and during that period,construction and architectural-related majors are the most affected. Manyprofessionals with decades of working experience were laid off during thattime. It is nearly impossible for novice professionals, who just graduated fromcollege to get a job in those industries. This situation might have deterredsome student who entered college after 2008 from choosing construction orarchitectural-related majors. However, with the recovery of the economic andsome revolutions in these industries, architectural and construction companiesare hiring more people who just graduated from college with a considerablestarting pay. It would be pitiful id someone who were really interested in suchmajors, and have chosen not to apply for such programs because the fear ofincapable to find a job. If they have followed their heart, they could find adecent job easily, and do the things they like in today’s economy.
Last but not least, to learn the subject the students arereally like can provide them a more promised future. Students have moremotivation to learn the topics which interest them, which means they have abigger chance to success in their academic career. A successful academic careercan make them more marketable to related companies when they are looking for ajob. Even if the openings of such industry were scare, companies are stillwilling to hire people who have passion in the industry.
Learning and working for the industries people have a passionfor can build a strong foundation for the future career, and provide thempriceless satisfaction of life. |
