What should be the purpose of college education? No doubt, different people, or even
different universities, may see it quite differently. As to me, I tend to support the view that it
should aim at cultivating the students' overall abilities
First of all, social progress needs overall-developed college graduates in the long run
When we ask ourselves the question: "What kind of college graduates does the society need?"
he answer is just too obvious: ones with a good command of the knowledge in their own fields
of study, ones with healthy bodies, ones with healthy mentality, ones with good communication
skills, ones with team-work spirit, ones with creative, innovative ability or the ability for
implementation. What are all these things? Again, the answer is Just simple: overall abilities
Second, an overall developed graduate would find a job more easily. You can ask around
an employer of a certain enterprise: What type of employees do you wish to employ? If this
question is a litle unclear, we can make it more specific by letting him make a choice: A. an
overall developed college graduate, B. a none-overall developed college graduate. Supposing
every other things remain equal, we have sound reasons to believe that he will definitely select A
Admittedly, it is praiseworthy of universities to be concerned about their graduates' job
hunting issues, for after all, anyone should first solve the problem of making a living before
