鲍博,利用老辈的遗产中给他准备好的读书钱,上了本地的一所私立大学,圣地亚哥大学,本科毕业。工作三年后,他自己又贷款七万美金去读了一个MBA(工商管理硕士)。下面,是鲍博在采访中对小辈们的忠告。
I liked learning and asking questions, I’d never complained about studying during my high school years.
我从小就很喜欢问问题,学习是获取知识的重要途径,所以一直到高中,我都很喜欢学习,从来没有抱怨过。
Looking back, I do not feel those efforts are worthy. I work for reputable American company now and I am more than $35,000 underpaid. If I could do it all over again I would not work for Emerson. Also, for young people these days, its not like they will have a decent job when they graduate from college.
但,现在想想,觉得上了大学后的努力,一点都不值。如今,我在一个有头有脸的美国公司工作,但工资和我理想的工作报酬相比,至少低了三万五千美金。如果让我重新来过的话,我肯定不会进一个不欣赏我的才能的公司工作。况且,对今天的年轻人来说,大学毕业,能找到一个好工作的人不多。
My advice would be to go to a trade school, or start a business with the money you would have used to go to college. The entire system is failing, including the education system.
所以我给年轻人的劝告是,与其去上大学,还不如选择上Trade School (互助学校,美国的一种供人们自学,相互交换才艺与智慧的学校,费用很低,但可以学到很多实用技能),或把父母给你用来上大学的钱,拿去做生意。国这个国家的体系正在崩溃,其中包括教育体系。
Why stress yourself out working hard now when you are not even guaranteed to get promoted to manager when you spend $56K on a MBA from Pepperdine?
干吗那么努力?难道你也想像我一样,自己花七万美金去攻读一个工商管理硕士学位,到头来,连个主管都不是?
This country is about to become a communist police state like China. Our Congress takes their orders from corrupt business industries run by a group of people who want to destroy America on purpose.
我们这个国家,越来越像中国一样的共产主义政策。我们的国会,已完全被那些腐败的集团工业所操纵。而掌控那些集团工业的人,他们的目的,就是要搞垮我们美国。
In the last ten years corporate profits have gone out the roof while employees have been asked to do more for equal or lesser pay. Why send your kids to college to be saddled with debt well into their 40’s so that they can go and apply for a job at Starbucks that pays $7.50 an hour plus tips with their degrees?
在过去的十年里,那些公司的利润连创奇迹,但公司员工们,却被要求领取同样或更低的薪资,干同样或更多的工作。做家长的,你们还为什么送你们的孩子去上大学?难道就是为了给他们筑起一个活到40岁才能还清的债务,然后让他们用自己的学位,在星巴克里找一份7块5美金/小时的工作吗?
I would move to Sweden and apply for citizenship. We must take down the Federal Reserve and stop the evil satanic people who manipulate world finance to usher in the New World Order.
如果是我,我就去瑞典移民。要么,我们就必须团结起来,把联储会(美国的中央银行)这样一个邪恶的组织,一个操纵着世界金融把全球推向所谓的“新次序”的魔王组织,彻底推翻。
小编点评:
小编个人觉得这篇文章微微散发着负能量,但是文章也让我们看到了一个事实,大学生找工作难并不是中国特有,这会不会让中国学生们心理稍稍平衡一些?小编不是很认同这篇文章,小编也无法告诉同学们什么才是最好的选择,但是适合自己的肯定是最好的选择!所以小编希望同学们一定要清楚地知道自己真正想要的是什么,不要随波逐流。
