Should Universities Give Priority to Practical Courses for Students?

Because of the demands of the job market, students with "hot" degrees such as computer science or finance are more likely to get a job than students with a "cold" degree like geography. Some people say that universities should give priority to practical courses for students. But I think that traditional courses are equally important and universities should not give priority to practical courses.

First, both practical and traditional courses are needed in our country. Students who do well in different courses can help to develop different aspects of our country after their graduation. For example, our society needs not only people who can help to develop the economy and technology, but also people who can contribute themselves to literature and education. Second, if universities give priority to practical courses, more students will choose those "hot" degrees. When these students graduate, they will have to fight harder for a job because there will be too many applicants with the same degrees. Take the game company for example, most of our Guild Wars 2 gold  salesman need three months for a probationary period, and once they have gained a good point in their career, they will be given this opportunity. This will in turn cause an imbalance of supply and demand in the job market.

In one word, both practical courses and traditional courses are important, and universities should not give priority to either side.
