《華爾街日報》和NBC進行的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，與四年前相比，越來越多的人不相信讀大學物有所值，尤其是沒有取得四年大學學位的人。《華爾街日報》報道稱，居住在農(nóng)村地區(qū)和18至34歲的受訪者中，多數(shù)男性認為四年學位得不償失。 受訪者幾乎平均分為了兩個陣營：47%的受訪者表示讀大學不值得，因為學生要承擔助學貸款，而且學生畢業(yè)后并不能掌握職業(yè)技能，有49%的受訪者認為大學學位物有所值，因為它可以幫助人們增加收入。雙方的差距只有兩個百分點，但在2013年CNBC對同一個話題進行的調(diào)查中，雙方相差了13個百分點。 《華爾街日報》稱，造成這種差異的主要原因是，沒有讀過大學、未完成學業(yè)或者僅取得了2年學位的人，越來越質(zhì)疑讀大學的價值。另外，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，取得四年大學學位的畢業(yè)生，比沒有取得四年學位的人經(jīng)濟收入更高。 民意調(diào)查人員從8月5日至9日，為《華爾街日報》/NBC的調(diào)查采訪了1,200人，誤差幅度為2.82個百分點。（財富中文網(wǎng)） 譯者：劉進龍/汪皓 |
A survey by the Wall Street Journal and NBC shows that people — especially those without four-year degrees — are less convinced that college is worth it than they were four years ago. The majority of men, people who live in rural areas and people aged 18–34 said that the four-year degree wasn't worth the cost, the Journal reports. Respondents were almost evenly split: 47% said college was not worth the cost due to student debt and because people do not necessarily graduate with job skills, while 49% said a degree was worth the cost because it could help people earn more money. That two percentage point difference has narrowed from 13 percentage points in 2013, when CNBC polled with the same question. Most of that difference is due to an increasing doubt in the value of college among people who didn't go to college, finish college or earned a 2-year degree, according to the Journal. Studies have shown, the Journal adds, that those who graduate from four-year colleges are financially much better off than those who do not. Pollsters interviewed 1,200 people from Aug. 5–9 for the WSJ/NBC poll, which has a margin of error of 2.82 percentage points. |
