10、the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源） for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Berna

11、rd 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.

There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any o

14、ther part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages orworst of allin philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands.

23、-scale chocolatiers such as Steven Whitman, and Claire and Russell Stover.
