Elective Subjects

In high school, there are two main types of subjects which are compulsory subjects and

elective subjects. The compulsory subjects are the subjects that every students must study to

complete their degrees such as mathematics, science, history and foreign language. On the other

hand, elective subjects are chosen by the students' decision of what they want do. School will give

students a list of choice. In MUIDS, there are a lot of elective subjects such as food science,

environment science, business, economic, art, journal, chinese. For instance, you are good at art

and like it, you might take art as your elective course to develop your art skill. In the future, you

might become an art teacher, artist, fashion designer etc. (Hughes,2017). Usually, students study

elective subjects for 6-12 classes per week. The advantages of studying elective is that it can

assist learners to find their ability or passions. In addition, elective can link to the major in

university or job that students want to enter or want to be in the future.

Decisions of Choosing Elective Subjects

Not many people can choose only one career decision, they choose many of them at once

while studying in school. In order to avoid these mistakes and many choices, first choose career like

the subject likely to get success from. So you can get best things from school subjects.

The second, you should select the subject that you enjoy and you will do it well because when you

like that subject, you will have the encouragement to study. Third, your future career related to

the elective subjects because if you know what you want to be, so it will be easier to know what you

should choose the elective subjects. For MUIDS student, in the future, you want to be a

interior or architecture, so in grade 10 you should select introduction of design, in grade 11,12

elective subject will be more specific. However, you should not take the elective that you think you

will relax in the class. When you decide to choose elective but you follow your friend, that will not

help you because it is not class that you interest.

Elective Subject and Future Career

Some children have goals during young age for what they want to be in the future,

however some have not decided their goals yet. So the question is, how are they suppose to know

what they want to be in the future if they dont know what jobs are there out in the world?(Sterling

staff, 2015). So heres the solution. Students currently in high school can decide their jobs by
studying elective subjects in their school. Selecting wide ranges of elective courses helps students to

find jobs theyre interested in. Some of students may struggle on deciding which subjects to choose

and not choose. So the best subjects to choose are the one their character matches and the one they

enjoy learning. Making decisions on a career path is a process of discovering yourself. Electives

help students to find your strengths, or things students are interested in or you never knew existed.

And that can change your life.

A lot of children choose science elective subjects such as food science, environment

science, anatomy, computer and engineering. So if student take these courses, student might want

to be doctor, nutrients, programmer. But taking those elective does not mean that student has to be

those career, some people just take it because it is interesting and amazing. To study art

or design can lead to be architecture or artist. And those jobs are require math skills. So you might

take math as elective subjects. The elective subjects that about business and marketing are

important because it is the basis of our job. For example, student might study art at first and then

student take business, student could take what student learn in art and adapt it in business, such as

student learn how to create shoes in art and student want to do it in your business, so you will know

that what kind of shoe you should do. Elective subjects such as Chinese or German can really help

student when it comes to finding a career in the international society. If they work in a multi-
national company, foreigners from different countries might come to work and knowing their

language , benefit student when working in their company
