大学生的压力(College Pressure)

大学生的压力

我发觉今天的大学生有两种压力：经济压力和来自父母的压力。环顾四周你很容易发觉一些叛逆者，他们指责学校收费太高，来自父母的压力太大。但他们不是叛逆者，而是受害者。

对于那些只想从大学毕业并且找到一个工作的人来说，压力是很大的。如果我是雇主，我宁愿雇佣那些有好奇心的博学之才而不是那些只选一些容易过的且能达高分的课程的学生。我认识无数学生，他们的好奇之心使我兴奋不已，因为我喜欢听他们阐述自己的观点，我不知道他们是得a还是得c，我不在乎这些。我也同样喜欢他们所散发出来的人性魅力。

国家需要他们，他们也会找到自己满意的工作。我告诉他们要放松，但他们做不到。
