英语翻译
When your parents advise you to "get an education" in order 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 so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a college degree,if possible.With a B.A.,you'll have a good start.But now you have to slow down.If you go for a master's degree,make sure it is an M.B.A.,and only from a first-rate university.Beyond this,the famous law of diminishing returns (报酬递减率) begins to take effect.
Do you know,for instance,that long distant truck drivers earn more per year than full professors?Yes,the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000,while the full professors managed to earn just $ 23,030.
A Ph.D.(博士) is the highest degree you can get.Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes,if you pursue such a degree in any other field,you will face a dim future.There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or under-employed in this country than in any other part of the world.
If you become a Ph.D.in English or history or political science or languages 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 cars,waiting on tables,and endlessly filling out applications month after month.They may also take a job in some high school or second-rate college that pays much less than what the doorkeeper earns.
You can equate (同等看待) the level of income with the level of education 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.

当你的父母建议你通过教育来提高收入的时候,他们只告诉你了一半事实.他们的真正意图是让你获取足够的教育来为社会提供人力资源,而并不是说你（当前的状态）对社会是一种尴尬（累赘）.
获得大学学位,如果可能的话.拥有一个学士学位,你就会有好的开始.但是你现在要减速了,如果你想继续深造研究生,确定这是一个工商管理硕士,并且要确保这是一流大学的研究生.除此以外,著名的边际报酬递减规律就要开始发挥作用了.
你知道么,举个例子说,长途货运司机比全职教授收入高?是的,1977年这些卡车司机的工资为平均24,000美元,而全职教授的工资仅有23,030美元.
博士是你能够得到的最高学位.除了少数特定领域,比如物理和化学,其他学科的学位都不能迅速转化为工业或商业目的（的“学位”）,如果你在这些其他领域获得了学位,你将面临灰暗的前途.在这个国家,失业的博士或待业的博士,比世界上其他任何地方都要多.
如果你成为了英语或历史或政治或语言或最糟糕的哲学方面的博士,你就有相对于国家需求的过度教育的风险.注意,不是（相对于）你的需求（过度教育）,而是相对于我们的（社会的）.
数以千计的博士在卖鞋子、开汽车、做餐馆服务员,以及月复一月的填写没完没了的求职表格.他们也有可能在高校或二类学校任职,但只能赚取比看门人更少的工资.在学历和收入的对应关系上,你只能认为其对应关系仅限于,在让你自己对社会总产品的产出有用的范围内（收入才和学历是对等的）,而当（超出一定范围）别人不能从你身上获取利润（的时候),这种关系就不是对等的了.
