Usually, after school, especially the university, most of the people will step into the society to find a job. Education they have received sometimes can be a decisive factor on whether they can find a lucrative job and promote their status in society or not. For this reason, there is always a debate about whether students should be encouraged to select the study fields which can best serve to their future careers. As far as I am concerned, education, of university or college especially, should be comprehensive. Overly underlining on which side will result to disadvantages.

Admittedly, education of university can be a turning point to most of the students. The fair chance that education endows students can help them step out of their limited background and moves toward success on their bare hands. Out of the pragmatic concerns, both educators and students sometimes may prefer the majors which seem to have the most potential career opportunity in the near future. Under the severely financial condition, students nowadays carry much heavier burden then before. It is so imperative that they need a fair job to support their living.

However, taking college education based merely on this, whether they will finally realize their initial target is still questionable. The reason is that this is an instant changing society with the progress of globalization which means students need to be adaptive and well-rounded that will not be easily left behind. As a phase of enlightened and preparatory, the responsibility of university should be capable of providing a wide range of choices that support students personally, academically and also socially instead of focusing on specific career skills training which is the aim of technical school. To educators, they should foresee the interrelationship among study fields and how this works in the future society to encourage their students make smarter choices in a long run instead of short-sighted ones. Like interdiscipline, means courses backing up each other and its wider range knowledge can be advantage to lead to breakthroughs in some vocation. For instance, neuromarketing, a new study field based on psychology and marketing theories, assisting company target its potential customers more accurately, has become a welcome trend for students who tend to be involved in business.

Furthermore, talents and interests should be also taken into account when the educators give their suggestions to students on their study planning. Interest is always called "the best guider" which impels students' intrinsic motivation to constant craving for their expecting goals. Meanwhile, students' personal talents can be splendid additive on their study field, as well as their interests. Binding with these two factors, education will work to its extreme extend and students will become the direct beneficiaries. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, although he did not finish his university education, he still exemplified the miracle of the combination of education, talents and interests. He utilizes this strength to start a revolution to transform the conventional mode of communication among people worldwide which also brings to him billions of dollars and fame. It is Zuckerberg's talent and interest decide his career and even create a vocational field, not the career trends confines his destination. Therefore, the educators may suggest students to think over their hidden motivation and help them keep proactive on future planning.

To sum up, education is to prepare students in a well-rounded range. Being pragmatic for the future career's concern should not be blamed, however, the educators must clear their mind on what is education and what is the thing that is most essential that students need for a better future.
