The American definition of success is largely one of acquiring wealth and a higher material standard of living. It is not surprising,【66】, that Americans have valued education for its monetary value. The belief is wide spread in the United States that the more【67】(school) people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school. The belief is strongest regarding the desirability of an undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree such as medicine or law following the undergraduate degree. The money value of graduate degrees in "non【68】" fields such as art, history, or philosophy is not as great.
This belief in the monetary value of education is supported by st【69】on income. Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist, estimated that in the course of a li【70】a man with a college degree in 1972 would earn about ¥380,000 more than a man with just a high school di【71】Perhaps this helps to explain survey findings which showed that Americans who wished they had led their lives【72】(differ) in some way regretted most of all that they did not get more education.
The regret is s【73】by those who have made it to the top and by those who have not. Journalist Richard Reeves quotes a black worker in a Ford au【74】factory.
When I was in the ninth grade, I was getting bad grades and messing【75】. My father came home in the kitchen one night with a pair of Ford work pants and he threw them in my face. "Put these on," he said, "because you’ re going to be wearing them the rest of your life if you don’t get an education. "
Douglas Fraser, the president of the United Auto Workers Union, regretted not finishing high school so much that he oct【76】lied about it. He told Richard Reeves about his pride in【77】(graduate) from high school, but then a few minutes later he said:
I wasn’t telling the truth about high school. I never finished. I q【78】in the twelfth grade to take a job. It’s funny after all these years, I still lie about it. Because the fact is, I still think it was a stupid thing to do. I【79】have finished my education.
Even a man like Fraser, a nationally known and successful l【80】, was troubled by regrets that he did not climb higher on the educational ladder.
