The sentiment that the expense of attaining a four-year college degree, particularly at a private school, isn’tworth the outcome is certainly growing. But we need to remember that a college degree has benefits that last alifetime. According to a report by The College Board, college graduates earn roughly 73 percent more than highschool graduates, and those with advanced degrees earn two to three times as much as high school graduates. Onaverage, college graduates earn $1 million more over their lifetimes than high school graduates. A recent study bythe Brookings Institution further shows that college graduates ultimately lead healthier, longer lives. So while thecost of a college degree is not trivial, the benefits that graduates realize over their lifetimes are well worth theinitial investment.
Many people also think that liberal arts graduates are not desirable employees in today’s marketplace. The factis that liberal arts graduates are highly desired by employers. While it may seem unreasonable that a broad-basededucation can be more beneficial than a skills-based one, it actually makes much sense. The core outcomes of aliberal arts education—the ability to think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, communicate clearly,adapt to new technologies, and navigate today’s global economy—are not only desired by today’s top employers,but also provide students with the skills they need to adapt to an ever-changing world. Today’s graduates may havetwo or more different career paths during their lifetime, which makes a broad-based education even morebeneficial.
Companies in the technology industry are aware of the benefits of a liberal arts degree. Google often advertisesits appreciation for employees who can think creatively and adapt to evolving technologies, and Microsoftpresident Brad Smith and EVP of AI and Research Harry Shum wrote in their book that lessons from liberal artswill be critical to releasing the full potential of AI (artificial intelligence).

這段主要講什麼?(A) 收入與學歷的關係(B)高中和大學畢業生比較(C) 對大學學位和專業的誤解(D) 人工智能的未來翻譯獲得四年制大學學位的費用,特別是在私立學校,不值得結果的情緒肯定在增長。但我們需要記住,大學學位的好處是終生的。根據美國大學理事會的一份報告,大學畢業生的收入比高中畢業生高出大約 73%,擁有高級學位的人的收入是高中畢業生的兩到三倍。平均而言,大學畢業生一生的收入比高中畢業生多 100 萬美元。布魯金斯學會最近的一項研究進一步表明,大學畢業生最終會過上更健康、更長壽的生活。因此,雖然大學學位的成本並非微不足道,但畢業生在其一生中實現的收益非常值得最初的投資。 許多人還認為文科畢業生不是當今市場上理想的員工。事實上,文科畢業生非常受雇主歡迎。雖然基礎廣泛的教育比基於技能的教育更有益,這似乎是不合理的,但它實際上很有意義。文科教育的核心成果——批判性和創造性思考、協作工作、清晰溝通、適應新技術和駕馭當今全球經濟的能力——不僅是當今頂級雇主所希望的,而且還為學生提供技能他們需要適應不斷變化的世界。今天的畢業生在他們的一生中可能有兩條或更多不同的職業道路,這使得基礎廣泛的教育更加有益。 科技行業的公司都知道文科學位的好處。谷歌經常宣傳其對能夠創造性思考並適應不斷發展的技術的員工的讚賞,微軟總裁布拉德史密斯和人工智能和研究執行副總裁 Harry Shum 在他們的書中寫道,文科課程對於釋放人工智能的全部潛力至關重要。人工智能)。
