     If you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent
report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work
immediately with very little on-the-job training.
     That's especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell's School of Hotel
Administration, for example, bachelor's degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries
ranging from the high to low and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies especially like
a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization
does not pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic
stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree
washes out after five years
.
     As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State's Scheetz cites
a pattern in corporate hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often
seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. This sounds like a formal statement that you
approve of the liberal-arts (文科) graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents
that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-
mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston
Red Sox, says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree."I hire only liberal-arts
people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things," says Birch.
     For a liberal-arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature history, mathematics,
economics, science, human behavior and a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses,
you can feel free to specialize, "A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is
a very good combination in the marketplace," says Scheetz.
1. The job market is in great need of people with _____.
[     ]
A. special training in special fields
B. a bachelor's degree in education

D. an MBA degree from top universities

[     ]
A. an MBA degree does not help in future promotion
B. MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C. people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation
3. David Birch says that he only hires liberal - arts people because _____.
[     ]
A. they will follow others' ways of solving problems
B. they can do better in bundling changing situations
C. they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尴尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination(歧视).
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment(就业) did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe(严重).
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories(范畴), the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone(倾向)than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate(侵犯)people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公务员) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
