Choosing which field to study - part 2 Some may claim that educational institutions have the responsibilities to tell their students which field they should not study because educational institutions have the experiences that their students do not have. They might already have students who have studied in a field and they found it takes a lot of efforts to do well in that field and very few people could make it. Therefore, their experiences could be very helpful for those students interested in this field to consider more and save their time. However, I think the educational institutions should not “dissuade” their students just because other people find it difficult to achieve in that field. Instead, educational institutions could provide the information needed for their students to make the decisions. For example, educational institutions could hold speeches and invite people from different fields to share their experiences, including how much effort they make to succeed, or even why they gave up in a field and turned to other fields. Once the students have sufficient information, they could decide whether they have the talents and determination to do well in the field that other people do not recommend. To sum up, the educational institutions should not dissuade their students from what they choose to study, but provide the information and support to help their students make the decision they satisfied with.
