答案
Poverty ≠ Failure Since China adopted the reform and opening-up policy in the late 1970s, money worship has long been a hot topic among people. Gradually, college students were also obliged to meditate on whether wealth is the symbol of success and poverty means failure and shame. In my opinion, poverty for those with higher-education degrees doesn’t always mean failure, let alone shame. First of all, the purpose of higher education is not to turn college graduates into moneymakers. Although many colleges have now greatly changed their curricula by putting more emphasis on Applied Science in order to cater to the development of modern industries and trade, it doesn’t mean that these higher educational institutions have shifted the responsibility of giving students adequate moral training. In fact, colleges should be places where students can broaden their horizons and get ready to contribute to the development of the country and human civilization. In this respect, Qian Xuesen, Qian Weichang and many other leading Chinese scientists have set good examples. With earning money as their first priority, they couldn’t have made great contributions to our country. Second, poverty for those with higher-education degrees is not always the inevitable consequence of their failure. As we know, poverty can result from many factors, such as the adjustment of national policies, the imbalance in the development of different social areas, personal capabilities, etc. Therefore, for some college graduates who choose to live in some undeveloped areas, poverty may be their doom, but it doesn’t mean they are failures. Many school teachers in remote areas can be a case in point. Instead of feeling ashamed of being poor, these people should feel more proud because of their contribution. In addition, even though the professor means to encourage his students to work hard, the remark is not cautious enough. It can be very misleading, so as to hurt the self-esteem of many diligent college graduates. It can also be harmful for future college students, for they will become more money-oriented in choosing their majors. If that happened, how would our country develop on a full scale? All in all, poverty for those with higher-education degrees doesn’t always mean failure. It is only a misconception growing up around the present social malady of money worship. College graduates should realize its potential danger and confidently play their part in shouldering the responsibility of building up our country.
