美國(guó)大學(xué)生的求職故事
A underemployed college graduate is selling her diploma and "college experience" on eBay for $50,000 after becoming frustrated with her job prospects after graduation.
一位大學(xué)生畢業(yè)后并沒有找到滿意的工作，對(duì)自己就業(yè)前景感到失望的她正在易趣網(wǎng)(eBay)以5萬美元售賣自己的文憑和“大學(xué)經(jīng)歷”。
Stephanie Ritter told BuzzFeed that she was purging her room of high school and college paraphernalia when she came across her Florida State University diploma. "I thought this piece of paper has so much worth to so many people, but for a theater major, it couldn't mean less," she said. "I'm doing the exact same things and probably getting paid the exact same amount as people that dropped out halfway through freshman year, except I'm still $40,000 in debt and they're, well, not."
斯蒂芬妮·瑞特(Stephanie Ritter)告訴BuzzFeed，當(dāng)她整理房間里的高中和大學(xué)用品時(shí)，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的弗羅里達(dá)州立大學(xué)(Florida State University)畢業(yè)證書�！拔艺J(rèn)為一紙文憑對(duì)許多人而言都很重要，而對(duì)于戲劇專業(yè)的人來說，同樣如此。與那些大一就中途輟學(xué)的人相比，我與他們干著相同的事，也許還拿著一樣的.薪資，不同的是我還欠著4萬美元的債務(wù)，而他們并沒有。”
Ritter said that she graduated college in 2011, and now works as an assistant. She said she found her job prospects with a theater degree to be lacking.
瑞特說她2011年大學(xué)畢業(yè)，現(xiàn)在的工作是一名助理。她說她發(fā)現(xiàn)戲劇專業(yè)的工作機(jī)會(huì)很少。
She is not the only one who has had trouble finding major-related work after graduation. According to a recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, only 27% of college graduates have jobs that are closely related to their major.
她并非唯一一位在畢業(yè)后找不到專業(yè)對(duì)口工作的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。根據(jù)美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)紐約分行(the Federal Reserve Bank of New York)最近的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，只有27%的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生找到與本專業(yè)緊密相關(guān)的工作。
Dissatisfied graduates have tried to sell their diplomas before. But Stephanie is selling more than a diploma: She's selling her experience. In her description on eBay, Stephanie describes exactly what “experience” includes:
此前，也有對(duì)該狀況感到不滿的學(xué)生嘗試著售賣其大學(xué)文憑。但斯蒂芬妮不只賣文憑：她還賣個(gè)人經(jīng)歷。在她的易趣網(wǎng)商品描述中，斯蒂芬妮對(duì)“經(jīng)歷”作了詳盡描述，包括：
-A TOUR of Florida State University including everywhere you would have gone/eaten/partied in your four years at FSU.
弗羅里達(dá)州立大學(xué)校園游，包括你未來四年可能去過的、吃過的和參加過聚會(huì)的所有地方。
-Access to all of my college memories/Facebook albums for 6 months!
獲取我所有的大學(xué)記憶以及Facebook上為期六個(gè)月的相冊(cè)。
-A show (on me) at the FSU School of Theatre (on opening night if time permits!)
觀看學(xué)校劇院的演出(我買單)。(如果時(shí)間允許，可以看首映哦!)
-A TOUR OF ALL OF MY FAVORITE PUBLIXES INCLUDING SWEET TEA AT EACH LOCATION!!
帶你逛遍我最愛的PUBLIX超市，包括品味每一家超市的甜茶!
Despite her current frustrations, Ritter said she would choose to go to college again. But she said she would change a few things, like studying in a city where she could make more money to support herself, and, most important, finding a queer-friendly college:
雖然現(xiàn)在有些沮喪，但瑞特說她將選擇重返校園。不過她說再回到校園的話，她會(huì)做些改變，比如去一個(gè)能賺更多錢養(yǎng)活自己的城市讀書，最重要的是，找一個(gè)善待同性戀的大學(xué)：
"FSU was great, but there were, like, 1,000 straight white men for every queer person," she said. "I didn't realize how important being around other gay people would be until I recently joined an amazing group of mostly queer women and thought, Oh! This is what I could've felt like in college?"
“弗羅里達(dá)州立大學(xué)確實(shí)不錯(cuò)，但這里每1000個(gè)白人直男中只有1個(gè)是同性戀�！彼f，“我當(dāng)時(shí)不理解擁有一個(gè)同性戀群體的重要性，直到最近我加入了成員多為女同性戀的很棒的組織后，我才感到，這不應(yīng)該是在大學(xué)里對(duì)待同性戀該有的氛圍嗎?”
She also has advice for high schoolers applying to college. "Be REALLY careful with loans," she said. In addition to applying for scholarships, Stephanie recommends sending "letters to rich people around your town and ask them to sponsor you." That sounds like a joke, but Stephanie has friends that actually did that and, guess what? It WORKED.
對(duì)于準(zhǔn)備申請(qǐng)大學(xué)的高中生，她也給了一些建議：“貸款需謹(jǐn)慎�！背松暾�(qǐng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，斯蒂芬妮推薦“給你所在城市的富人寫信，讓他們資助你”。這聽起來像在開玩笑，但斯蒂芬妮確實(shí)有朋友這么做了，猜猜結(jié)果如何?還真管用!
