Many people think that studying in the universities of colleges is mainly for the academic reasons. They think they should learn what they want even it is not for the future occupations. Even many people think the main purpose of university education is academic, I strongly believe that the real purpose of it is to give advices or skills for the future job. The reasons are followed. To begin with, many students pay more attention to their major subjects. For example, the engineering major students are inclined to take more engineering classes than other one. They think they will be engineers instead of clerks or etc. They study more and learn skills about the engineering. In a word, many students spend their time on the subjects that would be related to the future occupation. Second of all, university courses contains lots of experiment or practical courses. For the students who are majoring in biology, they spend most time in the lab doing experiments. They learn skills by practicing. And the students, with journalism major, spend most of their time in writing journals. If people didn't attend the university, they would pay less time on their studies and this led them to be "less practical". For the last reason, many companies tend to hire people who graduate universities, also many employees who graduate university get paid more than normal people. It is because many employers think people who graduated university have more talent and skills that is needed for the work. For instance, there are two peole called A someone who graduated university with the major of bio-engineering and B someone who didn't studies at all. They both try to work in the lab. If the employer is normal, he would choose A for the high paying position and B with the low paying position such as doing chores, or etc. To sum up, the real purpose of the education in the university is giving more chance of geting high pay jobs to the students; students spend most of time in their major, practice the real work, and companies are trying to hire people with certification of graduating university. |
