When your kids are advised to “get an education” if they want to earn a decent income, they are told only half of the truth. What is really meant is that they should get just enough education to provide manpower, for the society in which they live, but not so much that they become an embarrassment to that society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can drop out of grade school and still be successful.
Get a college degree, if possible, because with a BA, you are on the launching pad. After that, though, you have to start putting on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA, and only from a first-rate university.
Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 2007 salary for truckers was $ 34, 000, while a full professor only earned $ 33, 930.

A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics and chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future.
There are far more PhDs unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other.
If you become a doctor of philosophy in English, history, anthropology, political science, languages or—worst of all—philosophy, you are probably over-educated for our national demands—not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.
[80]
Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month.
Many of them end up taking a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
The level of income is proportional to one’s level of education only to a degree—to the degree, that is, that makes a person useful to the gross national product, but not to a degree that nobody can run much of a profit on such a person.
