34"Instead of requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines—that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences—colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields. Such concentration is necessary in today's increasingly work-oriented society."
It seems nowadays that job-related courses are so important to students in colleges that they need only study these courses in order to have a good job with necessary knowledge. Because of this, many universities as well as students put far less energy to those seemingly non-work-related courses. However, as far as I am concerned, other courses, such as arts, humanities, and some biological sciences are as important as those practically job-related ones.
It is true that job-related courses are crucial to students in that most of them attend to universities seeking for job-related skill which will ensure them get a fine job after graduate. The ultimate goal of education is also to nurture high-qualified people who can fit for related jobs with a wide professional knowledge, so every university should ensure that their students can gain enough required knowledge to better their future life. Equipped with those knowledge, student gain the key to enter the future professional gate which may keep close for those outsiders. After all, it is work-related knowledge that enables students to perform themselves during their future working period: they use their learned job-related knowledge rather than some irrelevant knowledge, say art, to gain higher achievement in their jobs; innovations are always resulted from professional knowledge too. Simply put, when one mastered no job-related knowledge, how could companies employ them for further development?
On the other hand, although job-related knowledge is important for students' further development, we can never neglect other qualified knowledge. For example, common science such as mathematics can help students develop their logical thinking, which may contribute to their professional development largely; Art, regarded as useless courses by many job-seeking students, can add some invisible air to students’ experience, which may influence their job performance as well as their job-related knowledge. For one thing, people who can understand art can learn people's heart insightfully to some extent, thus enabling them read the information behind some normal phenomenon. In one word, it is non-job related knowledge provide people with additive qualities which enable people to perform better in the job. Besides, people do not live for job, they need their personal life, which includes many fields. Thus those courses are needed to nurture a qualified person living not only for a colorful life not only concern with job.
Furthermore, companies will never employ those students with only job-related knowledge. Although those knowledge are required, companies tend to care more about their employees' mass quality, including many aspects besides related skills. Employees in a company develop themselves not only rest on their professional knowledge but also on their common abilities such as their personal contacting skill, way of thinking of different issues not only including those taught in schools, creative, and so forth. All these can not all be learned from job-related courses but a large variety of courses. And this is why companies would hire a college student other than a high-school student, in spite of their ages. As a employer, one always wants to hire those not only excel in professional field but also good at other parts of life, in other words--what they need is a person not a working machine.
Therefore, universities should prepare both job-related courses and other auxiliary course for students to enhance the mass quality of a student, and students should put their non-work-related courses at a right position for they can help them a lot in their further development.
