Confronted with huge pressure from outside of home and school, a great many students are so disoriented that they couldn’t head towards a correct direction, or at least a not bad direction of finding jobs. Sometimes they base their choice of a field of study on the availability of jobs in that field, so they tend to learn something they thought would help them get a job. This idea could be derived from reality, notwithstanding a different opinion exists that students should focus on other things besides the competence of finding jobs when choosing a major. I offer this opinion qualified agreement since it’s true that people might regret about their choices when turning older more often than not. Thus any decision including this one shouldn’t be made so hastily before take a scrutiny of the panorama.
Admittedly, given that the conditions for vocations are not that sanguine, students ought to consider the possibility of getting a job in one field. The students are not to blame for this in that there’s no denying that the number of jobs is becoming scarcer. For example, the high rate of losing jobs in the U.S.—though partly because of economic recession—might be attributed to growing numbers of the populace during last several decades as well as rising qualities of them. This could make it much harder for students—even well trained ones—to get their favorite jobs because of ubiquitous competence. That is to say, students are not longer able to aiming at what they want to do even though they are so talented that they could best fit the jobs. Unless they initiate a new entrepreneur, there will always be seemingly impending danger of losing jobs like an albatross around their necks. In this light, students’ talent and interests in a field might not count as much as the economic factors.
However, students are certainly not wise to narrow their scopes down to simple factor. Other than the availability of jobs, they certainly have needs to pursue their goals and dreams in order to achieve successes of their own. Suppose a student interested in basketball but for some reasons is not able to get on the court to play, ending up a common worker in a factory, will he be satisfied throughout his whole life? Surely not. And we may even imagine that he probably will do not so well as the other workers whose interests are confined to working in factory. From this point, what we attain is that the interests could play salient role in determining one’s fate. Nonetheless, someone may rebut that there must be certain persons whose jobs are not their interests but they do succeed in the end. While conceding that this contention is tenable in itself, I disagree with it because these people might have ignored crucial factors other than interests influencing the effects of the certain persons’ jobs. For instance, they might be diligent, staying up late every night due to a heart laden with determination. Or they might be just lucky, gain great advancement while they are not really focusing on what they are doing. On the whole, other factors couldn’t be ruled out simply in this contention.
In retrospect, it might be justifiable for students to aim at the availability of jobs when choosing a field to major in, but the key to success is to contemplate about all factors available in order to avoid partial decision. After all, while the definition of success varies among students, there exists a similarity of success: feeling worth, or on the other hand, achieving goals. Only by grasping the gist of keeping balance between the availability and pursuit of their goals could the students make this decision rationally.

呃，是啊，那个得绕一下，确实没有正面说明啊

ppguo

我想说的就是供求关系。 那个游行跟大家选专业没有太大关系

大剑Jade

嗯，市场是浮动的那一点不错，提一下供求关系应该会更好吧~第一个Body段的论据是我想到了最近的曼哈顿游行，觉得现在貌似米国人对工作岗位的需求很高啊。。在这点上反政府的倾向可能比较强烈~

ppguo

第二段的逻辑是，高失业率跟经济衰退和人口增长有关系，因为工作机会越来越少，所以根据工作机会来选择专业是无可厚非的。这一点逻辑上是可以，但是那个美国高失业率的例子好像不是很strong的论据。

还有一点可以说，如果大家都根据工作机会选择专业，那么有些job market会很快饱和，而另一些会很缺人。那么之前工作机会很多的专业会变得not popular, 而之前工作机会不多的专业会变得popular. 工作市场是浮动的，不能成为唯一选择专业的根据。

呃，因为我的状态不太稳定，像今天这两篇就属于状态很差。 所以只能天天写，在国内时间10点雷打不动（保持和考试时相同时间起笔），这样或许对保持状态平稳有帮助

你这写的速度我都来不及拍了。今天太晚了，明天再拍。
