  When your parents advise you to "get an education" in order to raise  your income,they tell you only half the truth.What they really mean is  to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society,but  not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.转自环 球 网 校edu24ol.com

  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 successfully dropout in grade school.

  Get a  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 an M.B.A.,and is 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 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000. While the full  professors managed to earn just $23030.

  A Ph.D. is the highest degree  you can get.Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or  chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or  commercial purposes,if you pursue such a degree in any other field,you  will face a dim future. there are more Ph.D.s unemloyed or underemployed  in this country than any other part of the world.

  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 cars,waiting on table,and endlessly filling out applications  month after month.They may also take 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.转自环 球 网 校edu24ol.com
