It is widely acknowledged that some individuals believe that the fundamental responsibility of universities should be preparing students for future employment by facilitating appropriate skills. However, opponents argue that universities should take charge of providing knowledge regardless of whether the course is beneficial to an employer. In my view, the former perspective is more logical and fairer for several primary reasons. This essay will examine both views and explain why I am more inclined to the former.

On the one hand, there are those who assert that the major duty of universities is providing knowledge regardless of whether this is practical for employment. They consider two chief causes for their claim. First, they think universities should be like homes focusing only on scientific knowledge not centers for nurturing skillful employees. In other words, this opposed group considers a university as a big library and does not care whether its books are beneficial for finding a suitable job or not since, each organization has its own specific function. Moreover, scrutinizing their belief reveals that they suppose the more someone is eager to learn new knowledge, the more universities should try to meet their aims by concentrating on providing various academic courses.

On the other hand, advocates of the former view and I believe that it is more rational if universities concentrate on the way students would be able to be employed in any productive career for significant reasons. First and foremost, the more universities raise funds for this purpose, the more economic prosperity a society will experience. Consequently, not only will students fulfil their necessities as a result of their financial independence, but they also will help economic growth by making money. Secondly, from a psychological view, students will be able to pursue their academic goals more motivated as, they are confident that their hard work will eventually yield positive results.

In conclusion, it appears that not only does the former view bring about helpful outcomes, such as economic prosperity and pursuing academic studies with greater passion and purpose, but the latter perspective also contributes to beneficial results like delving into various books and preparing a condition for scientific enthusiasts. However, I strongly support the former view as, this is more reasonable and more just.
