There are many advantages to a college or university education. Students have ample opportunity to explore a variety of interests, increase both their general and specific knowledge, prepare for a chosen career and develop independence. All of these are valuable goals to achieve, but it is my belief that most students today pursue higher education insgroupsto prepare for their future careers.
In the past, only the rich and privileged had the opportunity to attend a university and their goals were very different. Coming from wealthy families, few of them would have to compete for a job after graduation, and most wished only to be considered well-educated. Today's students are more practical. They must be able to compete in a very competitive job market; therefore, a practical education is very important. Furthermore, higher education is a big investment and so most students want to get all they can out of it. For these students, it is better to have clearly defined career and education goals rather than to try and find themselves in college. Of course, all students want to increase their knowledge, but I believe that most students today want that knowledge to be relevant to their future careers.
The world has changed a great deal since universities were established. They are still wonderful places for acquiring broad knowledge and for personal development. However, in today's competitive world these pursuits must be balanced with the pursuit of more specific goals. That is why I think most students view higher education as a valuable tool in career preparation.

人們為什么要上大學
【譯文】
大學教育有很多優點。大學生能有充分的機會去探索自己感興趣的各種事物、增長一般與特定的知識、為自己所選定的職業生涯做準備高等教育英文稿，并培養獨立的個性。這些全都是值得追求的寶貴目標。但是我認為，現今大多數的學生接受高等教育是為了要對未來的職業生涯做準備。
在過去，只有富人及特權階級才有機會上大學，而且他們的目標相差懸殊。因為他們出身于富有的家庭，所以畢業后很少有人必須要和別人競爭，以取得工作機會，大多數只是希望讓別人覺得他們受過良好的教育?，F在的學生實際得多。由于必須在競爭激烈的就業市場和別人競爭，因此，講求實用價值的教育就變得很重要。此外，高等教育是一項重大的投資，所以大多數的學生都會竭盡所能，想從中得到一切。對這些學生而言，最好是有明確的職業和教育目標，而不是在大學中才試著自己去尋找。當然，所有的學生都想要增長知識，但是我認為，現在大多數的學生都希望獲得跟未來職業相關的知識。
自從大學設立以來，世界已有了重大的改變。大學仍然是一個獲得廣泛知識和尋求個人發展的極佳的場所。然而，在這個競爭激烈的世界里，在追求這些目標的同時，還必須有更明確的目標來加以平衡。那就是為什么我會認為大多數的學生都視高等教育為職業準備的一項寶貴的工具。
