We talked to the one of the most vocal college skeptics in a growing national debate about the value of a degree. 在日益升温的关于“学位价值何在”的全国性讨论中，我们采访了一位知名的上大学怀疑论者。 Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist and widely syndicated guru, estimates that 85% of college students are wasting their time and money on getting a degree. 佩内洛普-创克是《厚颜野心家》一书的作者，同时也是一位企业家，她估计，85%的大学生正在为了得到一个学位而浪费时间和金钱。 Please take this estimate with a grain of salt, as most experts will still tell most students to go to college. Trunk's reasoning is certainly provocative, however, and it may be coming into the mainstream as more students are finally deciding to pass on college. 请大家持保留意见来看待这一评估，因为绝大多数的专家依旧会建议大部分的学生去大学深造。创克的理论无疑非常挑衅，然而，随着越来越多的学生最终决定不去上大学，这一观点也许正在成为主流。 Trunk says you should skip college unless you're really great at school or got accepted into a top ten school. Instead "you should just go to work." 创克说，除非你真的学业非常好或者被排名前十的高校录取，否则你应该放弃大学学习。取而代之的是，“你应该去工作。” |
