While those earning master’s, doctoral, or professional degrees still earn more during their careers than those with less education, the gap is closing, according to The College Payoff, a report published today by the Georgetown University Center for Education and the Workforce. " It’s still true that, on average, it’s better to get the higher degree; it’s better to keep climbing—but it’s less and less true, " says the center’s director, Anthony Carnevale.
Those holding bachelor’s degrees earn about $2.27 million over their lifetime, while those with master’s, doctoral, and professional degrees earn $2.67 million, $3.25 million, and $3.65 million, respectively. That said, the major and industry a student selects ultimately have an enormous impact on lifetime earnings. Those with bachelor’s degrees who work either in management or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM)earn more, on average, than people with advanced degrees of any level who work in fields like education, sales, and community service.
" The payoff from getting a college degree is huge and is actually increasing," says Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, a nonprofit focused on boosting America’s number of college graduates. "For people wondering if a college degree is worth it; Not only is it worth it, but the premium is growing.
The report did reveal some sobering news for women and minorities. Among minorities, all ethnic groups’ career earnings were less than that of Caucasians, save for Asians with master’s, doctoral, and professional degrees, who outpaced white workers with degrees of the same level. Latinos and African-Americans with master’s degrees earn nearly the same in their lifetimes—roughly $2. 50 million—as white workers who have bachelor’s degrees.
The data suggests that a glass ceiling is still firmly in place in America’s workforce. Across all industries, on average, women have to attain a Ph. D to earn more in their lifetimes($2. 86 million)than men who have only attained a bachelor’s degree($2. 60 million). Similarly, women with bachelor’s degrees earn nearly the same—about $ 1. 90 million—over the course of their careers as men with some college experience but no degree.
Carnevale, of Georgetown, suggests that women who want to earn more than their male counterparts will either have to attain more degrees or simply select a higher-paying industry, given the unbalanced playing field. "You can close the gap by getting more education, and that does seem to be the strategy, at least implicitly, that women are following," he says. "If you want to make more than lots of men, and you’re a woman, then go into engineering. [br] Carnevale’s utterance about women indicates that
选项
A、major affects earnings more than level of education.
B、getting higher education isn’t a good strategy for women.
C、engineering is the most commended industry for women.
D、there will be more women going into higher-paying industry.
答案
A
解析
推断题。根据题干人名定位至最后一段。Carnevale关于女性的一番话主要意思是,目前女性增加收入的主要途径是提高学历,而Carnevale的意见是,要想增加收入,更好的办法或许应该是转入高收入行业。相比学历而言,专业对收入的影响应该更大一些,故[A]为答案。Carnevale并未对通过学历提高收入的策略直接进行评论,故[B]不符合原文;[C]是望文生义,机械行业只是用作例子;Carnevale没有对未来的发展趋势做出推测,故[D]为过度推断。
