A four-year college degree, seen for generations as a ticket to a better life, is【C1】______enough to guarantee a steadily rising paycheck.
Just ask Bea Dewing. After she earned a bachelor’s degree—his second—in computer science from Maryland’s Frostburg State University in 1986, she enjoyed almost unbroken advance in【C2】______ eventually earning $89,000 a year as a data modeler for Sprint Corp in Lawrence, Ken. Then, in 2002, Sprint laid her off.
“I thought I might be looking a few weeks or months at most,” says Ms. Dewing, now 56 years old.【C3】______she spent the next six years in a career wilderness, starting in internet cafe that didn’t succeed, working【C4】______job and low-end positions in data processing, and fruitlessly【C5】______hundreds of job postings. The low point came around 2004 when a recruiter for Sprint—now known as Sprint Nextel Corp.—called seeking to fill a job similar to the one she【C6】______two years earlier, but paying barely a third of her old salary.
In April, Ms. Dewing finally landed a job【C7】______her old one in the information technology department of Wal-Mart Store Inc.’s headquarters in Bentonville, Ark, where she relocated. She【C8】______about 20% less than she did in 2002, adjusted for inflation, but considers herself fortunate, and wiser.
A degree, she says, “isn’t any big guarantee of employment, it’s a basic【C9】______, a step you have to take to【C10】______be considered for many professional jobs.” A college degree may not take you as far as you’d expect, although there may still be a few fields where a bachelor’s degree still remains a worthy investment.
