While many students choose a college major based on their personal likes and interests, others choose a major at least in part based on their desired career, or potential for a long-term financial return.
很多学生选择大学专业是根据他们的个人喜好和兴趣,而另外有些学生,至少是部分,是基于他们所渴望的事业,或者是获得长期财政回报的潜力。
Despite the downside of taking on massive debt to attend college (according to government statistics, more than 71 percent of students graduating from four-year colleges had college debt--with an average debt of $37,172 per student) the unemployment rate for college graduates with a bachelor’s degree is about half that of those without a college degree.
尽管上大学有着债台高筑的弊端(根据政府统计,超过71%的学生在四年大学毕业后会欠学院的债――每位学生平均负债37172美元),学士学位大学毕业生的失业率仍是没有大学学位的人的一半左右。
