　　Should Practical Courses Be Given Priority?

　　A college degree did moan something in the past, but now it doesn't. Every year college students flood into the job market where only the best ones are chosen. Those with a CS degree or a business degree are more likely to get a good job. So, should college give priority to practical courses like CS and business over traditional ones as history and geography? In my opinion,every course is of the same importance!

　　Yes, it's true that a practical major means more work opportunitios. But is a high salary job that important? A happy mood is moro important for us. Though you may not got as much money as a student with a CS degree, he or sho may not got as much happiness as you;imagine it! He sits in front of the computer, typing, exhausted and unhappy, you lie on the grass,reading your favorite poet's poem, relaxed and happy. Don't worry about your job; if you are good enough, you have the same chance as others.

　　As we know, practical courses are closely related to fundamental ones. A computer major doesn't mean you learn cornputer science for 4 years, instead, you have to learn math and physits in the first two years. Also, a MBA entrance exam contains three parts:English, Math, Logic Analysis, which means if you only know business, you can not pass it! Don't forget all the applied sciences are built upon the foundation of fundamental sciences.

　　Last but not the least, have you considered if we gave priority to practical courses, what would happen? Only two kinds of jobs? CS and business? Teachers teach only two courses, and all students choose to be a CTO ( chief technical officer) or a manager? The world will be filled with computer experts and businessmen but no artists, no historians, no physician how boring it would be!

　　So everyone, choose the major you have real interest in,learn and enjoy it as much as you can. Don't be afraid of job hunting. Good jobs will hunt for you if you are good enough!

　　简 评

　　基础学科与应用技能孰轻孰重?对这样一个严肃主题，王婷同学并没有板起脸来长篇大论，而是用形象的语言，简洁生动地勾勒出几幕场景：热门职业者坐在电脑前疲惫不堪，文学爱好者却躺在草地上悠然自得；计算机专业课程和MBA考试课程的具体设置；没有艺术家或历史学家的世界是多么枯燥，从而从三个方面轻松证明了观点：基础学科不可忽视。诚然，作者的观点尚嫌稚嫩，论证也不够深入，但这样的表现手法值得称道。文章笔调简洁流畅，遣词造句简单准确，是大学新生中的好习作。
