How effectively do schools prepare people for jobs?
Well, actually, I don’t think schools prepare students well enough for their future careers. In
class, we usually learn about theories and general knowledge, which I guess are important, but
most courses are not practical enough, so whenever a young person starts a job, he or she has no
experience and no clue what to expect from the position. As a result, companies must spend a lot
of time and money on training. I think many university departments should provide more
internships
(
=first-hand practical job experience for students) for students to realize what work is
really about, and what skills they need to acquire (=get)
.
Schools should definitely be more
practical, you know, more pragmatic.
2. What are the benefits of having a long-term career plan?
Well, anyone who has a long-term career plan can actually imagine what the future would be
like. And it is important because this can give young people hope and motivation. People who
don't have goals (on the short or long term) can't succeed, because they don't know what they want.
I think it's beneficial to make plans, even if plans change; at least they pave the way to the future,
and make people feel safe, as well as determined and confident.
