The U. S. Department of Labor statistics indicate that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren ’ t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree. These "temporary" jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.
On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts; carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of grade school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college.
One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up. [br] What does the author mean by saying "these ’temporary’ jobs have a habit of becoming permanent" ?
选项
A、Once college graduates take a temporary job, they soon become used to it.
B、College graduates have developed the habit of taking temporary jobs.
C、Many college graduates might never find jobs for which they were trained.
D、More and more college graduates are unwilling to change their jobs.
答案
C
解析
第一段第三句说:“Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turnout highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there.”句中jobs that aren’t there指大学生们所竞争的那些工作岗位实际上并不存在,所以到头来只能在“临时”岗位上千下去。
