Please review my gre issue essay and provide your valuable suggestions.
Students should only take courses in colleague that have direct bearing on their future careers.
The other name for college is "Alma mater", that is intellectual mother.The college provide a favorable environment for a student to grow intellectually.The courses offered by a college should strengthen his knowledge, required to achieve his career goals but not enervate or deviate the student from his career dreams.The courses that a student take in college should be related to the careers that he is interested to pursue after graduation.
The students are less benefited by studying the courses outside their interest.For example,a student interested in data-structuring or other computer related concepts will not find much use by studying plant anatomy or literature.The student,in turn has to spend more years studying the courses which are unrelated to his interested career and this in turn leads to spending much money on tuition fees.If a student could not afford the tuition fees, he would have to search for a job immediately after his graduation just to get rid of the education loan.Hence ,the students should only take courses related to their careers by which they would soon graduate from college and with much less money.
Its not only that including extra courses will consume much time but they demand much effort from students.Students can learn the interested courses quickly and with little effort but, its really daunting for them to learn the courses which they are not interested.The students are really under pressure to maintain good grad,such condition will make them loose focus on their goals.A friend of mine, she had interest towards "Applied mathematics" from school days.She had maintained a good grade in mathematics subject, however ,history subject was her nightmare.She struggled a lot to maintain a minimum score in history but failed.The failure reduced her confidence level and prevented her from fulfilling her dream.The students should have an opportunity to learn only the courses which they are interested,so that they can spend much of their time and energy on achieving their goals.
What if students are not sure of their career dreams? Yes, in such case making them aware of all the courses will be beneficial.Learning all the courses will help them decide on which subjects they are interested.Distinction has to be made between students who are sure of their career goals and who are not. If a student wants to be aware of all the courses, he should be allowed to do so but learning all the courses should not be a compulsion.
The colleges should allow the students to take only the courses related to their careers,helping them finish their graduation with less money and effort.The colleges, hence will gift confident, knowledgeable people to the world.
