People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Although some people argue that a college should not be a place only to prepare a career, and I agree in part on this, realistically, most people go to colleges or universities to prepare a job. My position can be held up by a few reasons.
First of all, most of popular departments, which means many people prefer to apply, are the area that provide pragmatical education, such as business, law, or education. In case of in Korea, many profit companies put a limitation to applicant’s major for business or law. Besides, after completing four years of course about on education, they can be qualified as teachers. Furthermore, when the government creates some kinds of official position, the related department instantly becomes popular. For example, until the early 1990s, a few school have the department of social work when Korea has few jobs of social work. However, in the mid-1990s, as soon as a social worker became a job of public officer, more colleges began to introduce that department, and now it became the popular department.
In contrast, the departments which pursue knowledge itself, such as philosophy or physics, have comparatively few applicants every year. Even though philosophy is regarded as the fundamental of knowledge, some colleges have even closed it after struggling of having applicants for years. That’s because the education of philosophy , as people assume, does not provide practical knowledge to be used in a job setting.
One of the most apparent proof that people go to college to attain a better job is that the most competitive department is the medical school, which generally guarantee to become a doctor, one of the most prestigious jobs. Accordingly, in order to find out that which job makes more money, you can only have to find out which department is more competitive. If colleges were mainly for pursuing knowledge, these department would be the least competitive department because they require too much study to exciting experience in college.
In conclusion, colleges and universities are mainly considered as job preparation institutions in reality, even though they have been expected that they expand the knowledge of the society.
