(1)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.
(2)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.
(3)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 this, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
(4)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.
(5)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.
(6)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.
(7)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.
By mentioning Bernard Shaw and Thomas Edison, the author means to support the idea that ______.
选项
A、one’s chance to succeed has nothing to do with education
B、many talented people become successful without education
C、few people can be successful without a high school education
D、people as famous as them will succeed without proper education
答案
C
解析
第2段第2句中的unless表明所举的例子是例外,即表明像萧伯纳和爱迪生那样没读完小学都能成功是少有的例子。因此C为正确的说法。该段首句表明一定的教育程度还是必需的,所以A不正确;B是将例子提到的现象推广为普遍现象,并非作者引用例子的原意;D将因果倒置了,萧伯纳和爱迪生因为他们的成就而闻名,而不是先出名再成功的,D不符合逻辑。
