Criticismof uiversities oýt valid To the. editor: Re: Aaron Kyliels letter, 'College lgrade more likeby to flnd job,' Fr.. Press, April12 Whibe I agre. with some points in his argument, I feel that bis anabysis of the university system. was incomplets. Not ail coibege diplomas guarantee jobs and not ail university degrees guarante. jobs. Whibe I acknowledge that most einployers seek individuaes who have had apprentioeships, it is imnportant te jealize that apprenticeships, in a certain way, aloo exist at the university bevel. At Laurier, accounting students participate in a co-op program; at Concordia, students in journalism have opportunities te, write articles for the school paper, and te buibd their portfolio for future employers; at York, students i the bachebor of education programn are teachers' assistants i schools for one day a weekç, on tep of their busy curriculum. This is the type of hands-on expene Mr. Kylie is taicing abut, bt it is not only found at the coibege level. Mr. Kylie seeme te neglect the issue of individual différences; not everyone wants te, go te university, just as not everyone wants te, go te college.ý W. ail have personal interests, and these often influence our career choioe. Job diversity exista as welb; everyone's jobs are essential in order for our society te work together. Every job is equafly as important as another, and we al rely on the job that another p.r.o does, at some point in our lives. i cannot speak for other universities, but at York, tuition will not exceed $3,000 for the 1995-96 year, and1 since tuition was approimately $2,600 bast year, 1 faib te see the 50 per cent tuition hike thus far. Coilege is cheaper, but I wanted te go te university te pursue my goal. I would not encourage studenta te apply te university because their parents want it, or te o rte college because it is cheaper. Iamn working te put myself through university and just because the government wants te hike my tuition, I will not sacrifice niy goal because of it. I would encourage everyone te, pursue what they want, whether they want te spend two years in school or eight years in schoob, it is their choice. College can provide opportunities that university cannot, and vice versa. Nothing is guaranteed. The jo market is very unpredictable in many ways, and it cannot ensure everyone that after two years in coilege you wil bave a jo. The reason university applications may be down Iby five per cent is because of the media blitz about tuition hikes and the exageatonof the OAC averages neoessaiy to b. admitted to University. I would encourage everyone te urs"e what they want and not e guided by what everyone else says You are the oel one who wibb do your job, so ma sure itsé somethmng you enjoy, its not worth sefing youraelf short. I also feel that there should not be such a comparison of the two systeins; they are different, and the graduates of each system are important te the entire social system. W. need teachers, nurses doctos,% mechanics ... for our System te flow. It is ridicubous te, say that one system ia better than the other.
