本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE34"Instead of requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines—that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences—colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields. Such concentration is necessary in today's increasingly workoriented society"。题目讨论选择专业的参考因素。可以考虑教育应当如何培养学生的问题，除了以后的工作以外，教育应当提供给学生什么样的价值观和理念。在分析的过程中，可以从教育培养学生是为了满足哪些要求、价值观对学生的作用、为工作而选择专业的意义、二者之间的关系以及利弊的对比等方面展开思考。
