Essay It has always seemed a contradiction to me how schools tend, in general, to instigate their students to create a critical perception of life while the very same pupils are more concerned about whether they will fit the market expectations therefore possibly earning a good salary and hence matching their needs. Many scholars have observed that among other institutions, school seems to have changed little through the years. Apparently, this extents to the subjects learnt in class as well. Most of students complain that they are not able to identify the use of content exposed in class and for this reason, the theoretical process of creating a conscientious being (primary focus of many schools) seems faded to failure. It has been said that perhaps one solution for the lack of assurance among students about their future job could be some sort of experience through the school years embodied in internships or trainee positions, for instance. However, in most of the cases, youngsters are not mature enough to realize what path they want to follow in life and hence they cannot choose a work experience. Besides all the difficulties aforementioned, we have to acknowledge that although schools seemingly are not matching neither students' expectations nor the market ones, youth is a hard period to take supposedly definitive decisions. I would therefore argue that schools must offer a formation that do not aim only on the pupils' critic thinking development but instead, being aware of the needs of the market, prioritize it as well, since every student and ultimately all of us will be part of it, whether as consumers or producers.
