When people advise your children to “get an education”, they tell you only half the truth.What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.Get a high school diploma, at least.Without that, you are occupationally(职业上)dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.
Get a college degree.if possible.With a BA(学士学位),you should start to find a job .You have to put on the brakes now.If you do go for a master's degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university.Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减律)begins to work.
Do you know; for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors(正教授)?Yes, each driver was paid $28, 000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $27, 930.
A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in。few specialized field such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly by turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future.There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.
If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or--worst of all -in philosophy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.
Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, vomiting on tables and filling out applications month and then may be taking a job in high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.

解答:

当人们建议你的孩子“接受教育”,他们只告诉了你真相的一半。他们真正的意思是,接受恰到好处的教育来为社会提供劳动力。至少取得一个高中毕业文凭。没有这个,你的职业就完蛋了,除非你是萧伯纳或爱迪生,他们才能成功地从小学起就辍学。
如果有可能,取得一个大学毕业文凭。有了学士学位,你就该开始找工作。你这时可以停止上学了。如果你确实读硕士,要确保所读的是工商管理硕士,并且只能来自一流大学。否则,著名的投入增加而报酬递减率会开始作用。
你知道吗,例如,长途卡车司机一年挣的钱比正教授要多?是的,1997年一个司机被付给28000英镑,而一个正教授只能得到27930英镑。
哲学博士学位(注:国外所说的phd不等于国内说的“哲学博士”,而是一个大学科,包括文学、政史、理化等等。)时你能得到的最高学位,然而除了某些特殊领域如物理和化学,在这些领域该学位可迅速转化为工商业目标(即实现实际价值)。但除此之外,你面对着一个不太光明的未来。截止到目前,这个国家失业的哲学博士比世界上任何地区都多。
如果你成为一个英语、历史、政治科学、语言文学博士或——最糟糕的——哲学博士(注:此处指狭义的“哲学”。),你就有所受教育超出我们国家需要的危险。
上千哲学博士们在卖鞋,开出租车,在桌旁呕吐,以及在填写了一个月的申请后得以在高中或大学找到工作,拿着比守门人少得多的工资。
