People have different views that university students have to study what they want subjects at university, while there are some argue that students should be forced to study subjects that will be useful in the future. I believe that all of the students should be able to choose their subjects what they like.
There are various reasons why people believe that university should only offer some subjects that will be useful in the future such as medicine, engineering and information technology. From a personal perspective, these courses provide more, after graduation, job opportunities, career progression, better salaries, and an improved quality of life for students who take them. On the economical perspective, focus on technology in higher education would lead to new inventions, economic growth, greater future prosperity.
In spite of these arguments, I believe that university students should be free to choose their preferred area of study. In my opinion, our society would benefit more if students are passionate their preferred courses and they can be expected to act on various field when they are in society. Besides, nobody can really predict which knowledge of fields will be the most useful and important to society in the future. It is no doubt that many employers want to hire people who have creative thinking skills, it will be made through learning art, history and philosophy than science or technology.
In conclusion, although it might seems sensible about university students focusing into useful subjects such as science and technology, but I personally prefer the current system which all of the students have the right to study whatever they like and choose by individual choice.
