When they advise your kids to "get an education" if you want to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide man power for your society, but not too much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.
Get college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is a M.B.A., and only from a first-rate university. Beyond mis, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
Do you know, for instance, that long-hand truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24,000, while the full professors managed to average just $23,930.
A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far. If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you. [br] Your income can parallel your education only when
选项
A、you are not a Ph.D.in liberals arts.
B、you get no more than college education.
C、what you learn is practical but not theoretical.
D、what you learn is not beyond the national demands.
答案
D
解析
原文最后一段表明了收人与教育程度成正比的条件,那就是:当别人可以从你所受的教育收益时,你的收入才会与教育程度成正比。该段首句中的so far表明了这个观点在以上的段落早有提及,即第5段提到的,超出了国家的需求的教育程度就变成毫无用处,连工作都难以找到,由此可见,D为本题答案。
