Many people consider college education useless in terms of future career.
很多人认为大学专业教育的内容对未来工作并没有什么帮助。
As far as I am concerned, there is no absolute answer to this question. Every coin has two sides. First of all，to some jobs, such as information technology, engineering management and research and development, college education is more than helpful; it，s essential. Because what students have learnt in college is fundamental for mastering the special technology of their future work. But to non-technology work such as management and culture, such as marketing, sales, human resources, college education’s primary aim is to help students build up the ability to ponder on and solve problems and the ability to learn and put what they’ve leamt to practice. As long as students can build up such ability through their studies, they can do these kinds of work well regardless of what major they were in college.
在我看来，这个问题没有绝对的答案，应该分两方面的情况来分析。首先，对于一些特定的工作而 言，例如信息技术、工程管理、研究发展等工作，大学专业教育的内容不但是有帮助的，而且是必需的，因 为学习的内容是掌握未来工作的专业技术基础。而对于一些管理、文化等非技术类的工作而言，例如市 场、销售、人力资源等方面的工作，大学专业教育最重要的作用在于培养学生思考问题、解决问题、学习 知识、运用知识的能力。只要学生们能够通过专业学习培养这样一种能力，无论学习什么专业都可以从 事这样一些工作。
