▶ Your Answer :
Some students think that it is unnecessary for them to take subjects different from their major. This is because it takes away from their time to study their major. However, I believe that taking a variety of classes has a good effect on students because it helps their social lives after graduation and discovery of true aptitude.
To start with, taking classes in many different subjects is likely to help students' future business career. Those subjects play an important role to enhance students' knowledge and basic fundamentals. When students go into the world, they meet a diverse range of people and unexpected situations and at that time such basic knowledge can take effect. For example, one of my cousins majored in economics and now takes charge in marketing for foreign customers in his company. His major task designs a marketing strategy about his firm's products. But one day, he got an offer to guide important foreign customers to historic sites in Korea because of his fluent English skills. And then, his knowledge about Korean history from a history class in his university that once he had felt unnecessary could show its worth. So he often tells younger cousins not to complain of learning various subjects because nobody knows where and how they are used in their business lives.
In addition, engaging in a broader field of study allows students to find their true specialty. It is difficult for students to discover their gifts and talents in the field where they do not know and experience. Therefore, when they take a variety of courses, it is likely that they get the opportunity to know what best serves their aptitude. For instance, my younger brother had always been considered as an athletic person and at the same time not an academic one. Therefore, it was natural that he entered a university as a athletic major. However, once he took a computer class for his elective course, he started to show his talent in a computer field. And now, his major has changed into the computer science and he studies it hard with a goal to enter the computer company. If it had no been for taking a computer class, he could not have found his talent.
In conculsion, I believe that university students should take classes in many different subjects. This is because trying different fields is to help build their business career and explore their true aptitude.
