And I didn't want one, frankly.  But now kids with degrees are often heading home to carry on playing video games, because you need an MA where the previous job required a BA, and now you need a PhD for the other.
说实话，我那时候就是这样。 但现在的状况是，孩子们有文凭却经常 呆在家里打电脑游戏， 因为以前只要学士学位的工作岗位 现在需要硕士学位， 现在还没毕业的孩子将来 就得有个博士学位才好找工作。
