【单选题】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 manpower for your society, but not too much that prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be GeorgeBernard Shaw or ThomasAlvaEdison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.
Get a college degree, if possible. With aB、A、, you are on the launching pad(发射台).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.

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 inEnglish or history or anthropology or political science or language 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.
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(看门人)earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of eduction 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.
If you are as gifted asBernard Shaw orEdison, ______.
