when i was looking for a university to continue my education, some of my friends and my cousin suggested me "if you are going abroad for master, you should choose a practical course". that inspires me about why they emphasised practical? and does it mean our education is not practical enough?
looking back of my high school and university education, seems like that in middle school, all the students and teachers were focusing on exam, score and when i was in university, the courses were designed too theoretical, not that many chances for us to practice.
it is said that education should be devided in four sections: family education, academic education, social education and religion education. maybe there is no way for Chinese people reach the religion education, but i think something about that should be mention because religion is the root of culture in western countries. by learning that we may understand the culture better and help us to get a overview worldwide.

I read in a newspaper a report that said a larger number of Chinese students who leave university are not employable by companies - that is to say at the end of their university education students were not equipped with the skills that employers were seeking. After years of listening to teachers, reading and memorizing text books and taking tests students were well-educated, but lacking practical skills that would make them attractive to employers. For this reason I can see why your friends emphasized something 'practical' and I would urge you to follow their advice.
