College education brings a lot of benefits in job opportunities for the graduates. However, which college degree they have obtained plays a heavier weight on the quantity as well as quality of the job availabilities, as jobs in many fields demand the job applicants to have the analogous educational background. This has introduced some to argue that the students should select their majors based on the fields' job market prospects. However, such notion is absurd. College students should pursue their own interests regardless of the relevant job markets, for their college education exists to help the students explore their interests rather than determine their future works.
College education's major and original intention, since its inception, has been to promote academic exploration and fulfillment of self inquisitive pursuits. The students should study what their hearts incline toward, because they have decided to purely study. Four years of college in fact is not short and definitely expensive. Obviously, it would be more effective to spend those expenditures on the experience that the students would not regret. Studying where their passion lies not only constantly encourages the students to continue but also to eagerly absorb all the given opportunities the education purveys. Students with zeal over fine arts would not enjoy studying and manage to survive through the grueling curriculums of computer science, even if they have chosen such fields due to the lucrative prospect of the field. Students given with the freedom to follow and hone their passions in college would invest more efforts into studies and savor the process of learning more than those who simply turned towards the monetary motivations, thereby getting more benefits from the same four years than the latter.
On top of it, students' majors do not necessarily narrow down their future occupations. One noteworthy fact is that actually many college graduages work outside of their majors. Besides professions, some students even pursue a graduate programs in not necessarily the same field as their undergraduate degree stands. Likewise, the students, despite their irrelevant and non-lucrative undergraduate degree, still have ways to discover array opportunities, which they deem financially promising. Furthermore, even if college majors do restrict the graduates' job prospects, many would refrain from working in the field they dislike. Bringing back the example from the previous paragraph again, the students with passions in fine arts but with a degree in computer science would not enjoy working as a computer scientist. Even if they pushed themselves through toward the monetary pursuits, they would find themselves running out of motivations and efforts in the long run. Likewise, whether fields of studies they choose influence their future jobs, the students should select those that attract their attentions.
To wrap it up, college education although prevalent still significantly portrays the dynamics of the job market. Nevertheless, what the students study for income matter less. Since college education intends to serve the students' aspirations and in fact poses little importance in job opportunities, the students should deliberately choose what they love. In the end, how much they love studying matters greatly more than how much money they would make; monetary desires there are countless ways to satisfy, whereas not many ways exist to realize academic desires.
