Note: Both the topic and the essay were created by one of our users.

Gone are the days when much ink has been spilled over whether the main purpose of universities is to teach students job-related skills. From my perspective, I am in favor of this point of view.

Some people may argue that there could be many reasons for which job-related courses can help graduates improve their relationship in workplace, a convincing one is that they master international skills. If a student possesses cooperation, leadership, and communication skills, he will acquire more opportunities for promotion and to secure an appropriate position. Meanwhile these skills can make them have a well work atmosphere and a high level of happiness during work time.

Others, nonetheless, would reckon that there are other causes why universities also provide courses focused on pure knowledge, and an obvious one is that some students desire to conduct in-depth research in particular fields. If a student becomes passionate about biology, he will choose to explore the fundamental aspects of living organism and discover new insights from animal studies. These academic knowledge can help them become scholars and scientists and make contributions to our society.

Personally, focusing on practical skills in the work enable young adults more competitive in job markets due the fact that enterprises need people who learn the cutting-edge technology. For example, with the development of technology, more artificial intelligent robots are applied in factors to improve the productivity. People who study the robotics and the control systems will be given a high salary and more offers in the big city.
