This is a college student from a secondary university which sepcializes in art in china. I'm an undergraduate who's still struggling for my thesis. It is hard to deny that our education grants us more crap than oppportunities. Back in, I never learned how to compose a thesis or any research, invetigation sth, it is said that students in the USA are required to develop a bility to compose fabulous term papers based on "getting down to brass tacks" when they are in elementary schools. And this is just the opposite in my school time, teachers claim over and over again that working on paper work, examinations with extreme patience and motivation is all you have to run into, regardless of anything else; attending a college is a turning point that will change your whole life. Therefore, I never took leave to doubt it. Now, I'm disappointed more than I was years ago, what I've learning all through the years is really "on paper", employers don't even spare to give a cold shoulder, i am a rookie, precisly a non-experienced student who's not familiar with real work at all. And there's plenty like me. During my 4-year college time, we are seldom given extra time to be involved in any traning program, fortunately i worked in a English Training Center for 2 years as my part time job, but non-experienced undergraduates are a lot more. Even realizing the serious situation, the authorities lock us up in school, giving orders of completing thesis ASAP which is all about theoratical study such as How Words Function, AD Translation Theory, What Do Verbs Serve....months later, we will have to compete in real world, fight for bread...what we urgently need is a skill to help find a job.70% of our graduates admit that a few useful facilities like library, labotory lack lots of resources supposed to be required. Some might argue that abilities and skills ought to be developed since when we were in junior high school. To employ a labor under 16 is illegal in china. what should we do? or What can we do? After passing 16, we are struggling for college then happily absorbing in the education same as the old ones we've been through in high schools. That is exactly what i have been through like most of our peers. Thus, take a wild guess, to be or not to be? what does this education bring us?

Knowledge.. a thing that cannot be taken from us.. Education is good because we dont want to be ignorant.. we go to school to learn many things ... from outer space to a tiny single atom in this world
