  Stein argues that there should only be a number of students to enter each field of study in order to not overflow and have everyone who joins to be guaranteed a spot in. I for the most part would disagree with Steins thinking is since I believe everyone should get the knowledge of whatever subject matter they chose. Unfortunately, I do agree with why this might be good to do since it wouldn't get peoples hopes up when they find out that they studied this subject and there are no job openings. 
 I disagree with this claim since I believe that if a student wants to pursue a certain career, they should not be shut down just due to numbers. If a student is very passionate about learning how to be a biologist for example, this would limit the students possibility of pursuing such dream and goal. Taking the class at least provides them with knowledge of the course and profession along with them finding out if that's truly what they like. Another reason why Id disagree would be that the numbers of availability in a profession are always subject to change and if this is done, may lead to a shortage of people having the skill and knowledge of how to do so. 
 I do however agree as to why this idea may not be as bad. Although it limits the number of possibilities, it wont get the students hope up as much. This way, the students studying to be in such career after have a spot to fill when they may. 
 In the end, I would have to oppose Steins ideology of such a system. Each student has the right to get the education and knowledge on whatever matter they please to learn it on.
