Topic 4 Relationship Between Major and Future Job
It’s a striking fact that there isn’t necessary relationship between one’s
major and specific jobduties for majority of people. Many people condemn this on
outdated education system and some even complain that textbooks are useless.
This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. First of all, it’s a common
sense that there always exists a gap between theory and practice. This gap needs
to be bridged by continuous exploration of similarities and differencesbetween
these two factors and accordingly corresponding modification. Secondly, due to
the rapid development of technology, the knowledge from textbooks becomesbehind
the times soon. And it will lead to the disassociation between what one has
acquired in college education andwhat he does at work.
From my point of view, when faced with the disassociation, one should adapt
himself to working environment as soon as possible by adjusting his
owninformation system. What’s more important, life-long learning is essential to
one’s career success. Even after one reached the required levels from college
education curriculum, pursuit ofknowledge should never be ceased. Last but not
least,we should bear this firmly in mind that one’s ability is valued much
morethan one’s academic degree. |
