college students should choose their major based on talent Some people propose that students should choose majors based on their talent while others indicate that the availability of the job market may be more important. In my opinion, I think the talent should be the main factor for students to decide their majors. For one thing, if students have talent in some areas, they are more likely to be successful. Examples from famous people can illustrate this point. Nash, one of the prominent mathematicians, acquired the Nobel Prize in 1994 because of his significant contribution to the game theory. Nash had showed his talent in math when he was a little child. He even can solve some problems puzzling his teachers. The other example comes from Edison, who was an inventor promoting the development of our society. His invention, telephone and bulb, had improved the life quality of people all over the world. It is his genus that allows him to possess accurate inspection that ordinary people do not own. Therefore, Edison could always have marvelous ideas and make it come true. Overall, only choosing majors that students are really interested in, can they have the opportunity to get the peak of their career. Meanwhile, when students regard as their career the major they are skilled in, they will easier get confidences. If entering into an area where you have weakness, you will always fail. As time passes, you may lose your self-confidence and afraid to do anything. It will block the development of your career. Some people may propose that the demand of the major in job market, is also an important factor that should be taken into consideration. Students majoring in philosophy and history are difficult to find a job. I admit that this reason cannot be ignored, but it should follow students' talent. If students indeed have talent in some cold areas, they can also create the glory. My sister, whose major is history, has become the youngest professor in Peking University. She has genius in history since she was child as she can remember over 100 names of the kings. Thus, the reason why some students cannot find a job is probably that they choose an unsuitable major. Overall, I think that students should choose the sphere that they are talent in, because it will bring them the success, the confidence and the pleasure.
