Given the fact that many college students have difficulties in finding jobs in the recent, thousands of high school students are reported to refuse to take the National College entrance examination. The news seems so convincing that many students, their parents, and society reach the conclusion that receiving a college education is a waste of time and money. Undoubtedly, these students can earn some money working in big cities or running their own business in the near future. However, I am of opinion that this view is myopic, which is to the detriment of personal development and China’s overall growth in the long term.
最近一段時間，大學生很難找到工作，據報導，有上千所高中學生拒絕參加高考。這條新聞似乎很有說服力，許多學生、家長以及社會認為，接受高等教育是一種時間和金錢的浪費。毋庸置疑，這些學生可以在一些大城市上班掙錢，或者是將來自主創業。但是，我認為這樣的觀點目光過於短淺，這將有損於個人的發展，以及中國整個國家的發展。
Firstly, in terms of personal development, the university is not a vocational training center despite the fact that a university diploma indicates graduates are more likely to find decent jobs. Instead, the university is a place for personal cultivation and improvement. In universities, students will learn to find their real interests, perfect their personality, and form right outlooks toward the world. Furthermore, students will learn to gather, analyze, and evaluate information so that they can resolve problems in their lives. For those who are suspicious of the value of higher learning to some extent, they can be regarded as plutolatry. They worship money and believe that money is everything in their lives.
首先，就個人發展而言，大學不是職業培訓中心，儘管擁有大學文憑更有可能獲得體面的工作。相反，大學是個人培養和發展的地方。在大學裡，學生可以尋找到自己真正的興趣，完善個人品質，樹立正確的世界觀。此外，學生將會學習到如何收集、分析以及評估信息，這樣，學生才能夠解決生活中的問題。對於那些在某種程度上懷疑高等教育的人們來說，我們可以把他們視為拜金主義。他們崇拜金錢，並相信金錢對他們意味著所有的事情。
Secondly, in terms of national growth, the advancement of a nation is characterized by its greatness of high education. In this sense, universities are the centers of research and academic exploration. Take the United States for instance. Among the top 100 universities in the world, the majority of them are located in theUnited States. The advancement of US high education is indicative of the fact that those universities produce the most Nobel Prize laureates in comparison with other countries. American universities also turn out to be a magnet for most smart students around the world. Those universities contribute a tremendous share to theUS』 growth through scientific and technological support.
第二，就國家增長來說，國家的進步是表現在高等教育的發展之上的。從這一方面講，大學是研究和學術探索的中心。就美國為例，世界前一百所大學中，絕大部分都來自美國。美國高等教育的先進指明，相比於其他國家，這些大學產生了最多的諾貝爾獎獲得者。美國大學也成為了吸引全世界人才的磁場。美國的發展絕大部分都來源於大學在技術和科技方面的支持。
In China, if the belief that receiving a college education is a waste of time and money can not be corrected in time, itis inevitable that China can only reap short-term GDP growth but will be deprived of the opportunity to become a competitive international player in the long run, for the human resource will be drained eventually.
在中國，如果認為接受高等教育是一種浪費時間的話，我們的金錢觀也就不會得到更正，中國的國民人均生產總值將不會有著長遠的發展，人們也將失去成為國際競爭者的機會。人才也將最終枯竭。
In sum, receiving a college education will benefit both individuals and the country. Indicative of the dire job market for college graduates is not the uselessness of college education. Instead, a college education means we should study harder to make full preparation for the future.
最後，不管從個人還是國家，接受高等教育都是受益的。應屆生就業市場的不景氣不能夠說明，接受高等教育是無用的。相反，高等教育意味著，我們更應該努力學習，為未來做好準備。
