1.
You'll be losing four working years.
There's an
opportunity cost associated with going to college: Not only will
you lose the money you'll have spent on tuition, you'll also be out
the amount of money that you could have made if you'd worked during
those four years. And if your family isn't wealthy enough to pay
for your education on their own, you'll also owe a hefty amount in
interest payments for your student loans. Perhaps more importantly,
with four years of experience on your resume, you’ll be far better
off when looking for work than the average 22-year-old college
graduate.
2. You
won't necessarily earn less money.
College grads
earn an average 62% more over the course of their careers than high
school grads. But economist Robert Reischauer of the Brookings
Institution in Washington, D.C., argues that those numbers are
skewed by the fact that smarter kids are more likely to go to
college in the first place. In other words, the profitability of
higher education is a self-fulfilling
prophecy.
3. In
fact, you could probably make more money if you invested
your tuition.
Put
$160,000--the approximate cost of a Harvard education--into
municipal bonds that pay a conservative 5%, and you'll have saved
more than $500,000 in 30 years. That's far more than the average
college grad will accumulate in the same amount of
time.
4. You
don't need to be in a classroom in order to learn
something.
Truly
motivated learners can teach themselves almost anything with a
couple of books and an Internet connection. Want to learn a
hands-on skill or trade? Consider an apprenticeship.
5.
Plenty of other people did fine
Bill Gates,
Larry Ellison, Quentin Tarantino, David Geffen, and Thomas Edison,
among others, never graduated from college. Peter Jennings and John
D. Rockefeller never finished high school.
其实以前我就深深体会到了, 天才不用上学, 有本事的人不用上学.
至于普通人, 还是要的. 一普通人没事学人家天才不学习, 那是自挖坟墓的做法.
我不是天才, 所以书我还是念了很多.
不过感觉的确还是在走出学校以后学到更多的知识. 这条路不一定确保是大富大贵路,
但却是一个人成长的必要里程. 普通人群中, 那念过书的就是和没有念过的不一样啊!!!
那个关系到一个人的素质和气质问题.
如果你是天才, 赶紧挫学.
如果你是普通人, 又想要做一个有世界观, 有素质深度,
受人尊敬的人. 乖乖念书吧.
