Both are great arguments, but I tend to lean more on the argument that colleges should prepare students for their professional lives as quickly as possible by focusing on the technical skills and specific knowledge they will need for the field they plan to work in. This way students can get an insight on they plan to be. If for any reason they do no like the job they had wished they have time to change it. No time would have been wasted and they have time to learn for another job they seem to like. I also believe less money would be wasted. For example, money is being wasted on the classes students need take to finish their GED requirements. Also not only is money being wasted but also student's time. The time students take to finish their GED requirements can be wasted on what he or she plan to work in. Students also end up losing their time in student loan debts they need to pay back. GED requirements are only requirements. We, the students, don't choose the classes we want, we choose the ones that are required to take. We, the students, lose interest in school and some may drop out or, even worse, they may end up with depression or trauma.
