每日口說挑戰為什麼那麼多人後悔去讀大學？ (The TRUTH Why So Many Regret University/College)

☺In the 50s, 60s and 70s only the middle class and affluent families could afford to send their little cretins to university. Even in the UK, where university tuition fees have only existed since 1998, it didn’t matter. Because to support the family, children would have to go off to work at the age of 18 or younger. Higher education was just never an option for most people.
在1950、60以及70年代期間，只有中產階級的有錢人家有財力能夠將自己家裡不成材的小屁孩送去念大學。即便是在1998年才開始收大學學費的英國也都是如此，因為家裡的小孩到了18歲、或甚至18歲不到，就得要出去工作、賺錢養家，受高等教育對大部分的人來說，根本就是想都別想。
【心得】誠心感謝口說挑戰平台的各位伙伴總是溫暖又善心，來這裡心靈都得到了療癒，希望明年大家一起繼續練口說，活化腦細胞。（￣︶￣）↗

在 50、60、70 年代只有中產階級和富裕的家庭可以把家裡的小屁孩送去大學。雖然從 1998 年起英國人要讀大學就得繳學費了，但也沒有影響，為了維持生計，孩子要在 18 歲或更年輕的時候就出去工作，高等教育從不會被列入大多數人的考量。

其實現在念大學最被詬病的就是：學校學得和出社會用到的有落差，也就是常常聽到的「學不以致用
」。
但念大學真的是培養到社會工作的能力嗎？
以我自己為例，我大學就是念大家所謂的無用科系「政治系」，充其量就是大家都在考高普考的科系。
說實在要考上高普考，也根本不需要讀這個科系就可以考上，我們科系裡面轉系的、雙主修的、轉學、重考的可謂比比皆是。
可能某個同學你這學期還看到他來上課，下學期已經沒看到人，一問之下才發現他已經休學的也不在少數。

回歸正題，我們從小到大受了這麼多的教育，難道工作能力的培養就僅僅在大學這四年嗎？
我自己也是認為自己的科系在工作技能上並無太大用處，也就是俗稱工作的「硬實力」（學歷、專業技能 ...etc）不足；但我自己認為，我的科系對於「軟實力」（態度、經驗、獲取資訊能力....etc）的培養算是相當不錯。最有趣的就是教授常常要我們以不同的角度思考，不要人云亦云，有問題就要提出。

問題在於，從小到大的教育就是告訴我們：有問題被提出會被其他人以另類的眼光看待，導致自己真的有疑問也不敢提出，到最後就變成沒有主見、思考能力的機器人。

我雖然不贊同大學學歷讓我找工作更有優勢，但我在大學時期學會「自學」的能力，也就是自己找書來看，自己尋找適合自己的領域。
而我必須說，這真的非常有幫助。
能自己選擇讀的書是一件幸福的事情，不必再為了考試的成績而硬讀討厭的書。也因為是自己喜歡的領域，自然讀得開心，在應用上也不會那麼生硬。

就這點來說，我仍是認為四年累積二十多萬的負債是值得的。 當然我也要感謝我的媽媽，在我唸大學的時候提供我生活費，一筆遠遠超過學雜費的金額。要有效地用匱乏且有限的資金，還能夠存到一筆近視雷射的手術費，我想這門「理財學」是我在大學裡面，從我媽那裡學到最重要的一課。

So, if you ask me. "Would you ever regret going to university?" I would reply, "No, I would not. I have learned the best lesson ever there!"

最後在今年的第一天想勉勵大家
「不要花心思在後悔過去的事情，因為那些終究成了歷史；你能掌握的卻是未來。」
Stop trapping yourself in the past. Those you can change are in the future.

Happy new year guys!!
Just came back from KTV. （〜^∇^)〜
How did you guys celebrate yesterday?

時代背景的變遷自然會影響到工作型態。在工業時代時期，誰能預測到會有社群小編或Youtuber呢？Just go with the flow and feel comfortable about it.
