Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Washingon or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.Get a college degree, if possible.With a BA, you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a masters degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university.

A.stop learning for a higher degree B.take up a masters degree at once C.go on studying in a first-class university D.find an interesting job( )63.What can we know from the passage? A.The higher education you get, the more money you will earn. B.Neither George Washington nor Edison received formal education. C.There are more PhDs than the society demands.
