▶ Your Answer : I do not agree with the idea that universities and high schools should teach students about specific careers and fields instead of general subjects for several reasons : learning general subjects help students live a basic life and it also helps to have chances to do something new. Firstly, learning general subjects help students live a basic life. This is due to the fact that those general subjects will teach students with basic knowledge that can be useful in the future. However, if students only learn about specific careers, students will not know about other things going around them but their careers. Furthermore, it will not be that late to find a right career after graduating high schools and universities. Therefore, students can learn basic knowledge and some useful tips to make up a good living when they are in schools. For example there is a subject that teaches how to cook in high school. If students do not know anything about cooking, such as different ways of cooking and some kind of food that cannot be eaten together, students will have hard time cooking something to eat for themselves when they grow up. This means that learning general subjects instead of specific career helps students to get draft ideas about things that they will be needed some time in the future.
In addition, learning general subjects provides students with chances to try many different kinds of work. This is attributed to the fact that by trying out many different subjects, students are able to know which subject they are interested in and develop their potential later in the future. Furthermore, if one fails to succeed in that field, he will be able to try other fields based on the knowledge learned in schools. This cannot be done if one only focus in a specific career. There was a case of my friend who studied only the specific career that she majors in. Unfortunately, she later gave up her career after finding out that the career did not suit her. Then she had no where to go, nothing learned to do other things other that her major. It was not easy for her to get chances to work in other fields. This implies that learning general subjects can provide with more chances to work and study in variety of fields.
In brief, universities and high schools should teach students about general subjects instead of specific careers in order to live a basic life and to have more chances to work in different kinds of fields.
