回覆 hkparent 的帖子
Yes, exactly what I wanted to say.
At my time (many years ago), professional degrees were preferred. Science subjects at HKCE and A level were also very preferred. My hubby and I graduated with professional degrees.
In recent years, perhaps influenced by CIS administration, and philosophy of US top universities including Ivy Leagues, we started to think if a broad based liberal arts education is a better choice at undergraduate level. Or, as Oxbridge prospectus always emphasizes, their courses are mostly "academic" in nature, rather than "vocational" based, maybe except medicine or law.
In an Oxbridge prospectus, it states that "for example, a degree in Journalism is not a requirement to become a journalist. A degree in History, Politics, English or another subject might be just as useful. Likewise, to become a lawyer, students do not need to study their first degree in Law. They may take a first degree in a different subject and then take a law conversion course."
My hubby and I tend to agree with the change in education trend in recent years, that as a kid at 17 years old may not have the ability or insight to decide his/her career, a broad based general education, which trains critical and creative thinking, is more useful.
