Youths of today don't know which road will lead them towards a solid economic future. In the past, university studies where a guaranty of a good economic future. Today, university is becoming more and more expensive and it's value is decreasing (university graduates have a hard time finding meaningful work in there respective field). In such a case, why should we go to university?
Students today, it seems, are choosing there respective field of study in function of there personal interests and not the possibility of work. I think that is the best way to proceed, because, these days nothing is guaranteed and youths should at least have the chance to evolve has individuals in a field they love. In this perspective, university is not reduce of being a tool to get a job but an institution were individuals can deepen there knowledge in a field they love.
What are we suppose to do? There is no simple answer. However, without an education your chance of finding meaningful work in this economic environment is not very good. In other words, academic studies are not necessarily a tool to find work but a tool to give us hope. Should that be sufficient? Absolutely not!
