【文章译文】 大学学位价值的信任非营利、无党派观点研究机构公共议程新近对全国18到25岁之间的年轻人进行了一次调查，调查发现当今大量的年轻人——非裔美国人、西班牙人或拉美人、亚裔美国人或白人——对高等教育深信不疑。［1］大部分接受“高中毕业后的生活：年轻人谈期望与前景”调查的年轻人表示，他们的家长鼓励他们以上大学为目标，而且其中大部分人在高中时候都有一位老师对他们极为偏爱，鼓励他们上大学。
年轻人坚信大学教育纵观各个种族和民族，美国年轻人对上大学持肯定意见。四分之三（74%）的年轻人一致认为大学可以帮助人们为现实世界做好准备。77%的非裔美国人、81%的西班牙人、85%的亚裔美国人以及81%的白人表示“当人们知道你是大学毕业生，他们就会对你更加尊重。”某些人认为少数年轻人当中，大部分都很鄙视学业上的成就，而这些调查结果驳斥了这一观点。只有7%参与调查的年轻非裔美国人和3%参与调查的年轻西班牙人表示在他们的朋友圈里，大学毕业是被瞧不起的。但调查结果证实了国家数据所显示的——［2］对大部分非裔美国人以及西班牙人来说，上大学还不是一个普遍现象。参与调查的非裔美国人和西班牙人（分别有8%）中获得学士学位的可能性比亚裔美国人（25%）和白人（16%）低。很多人认为他们的高中老师和课堂本来应该更好地为他们从事要求大学文凭的工作作准备（［3］51%的非裔美国人，48%的西班牙人，44%的亚裔美国人以及39%的白人这样认为）。但他们认为自己没有好好准备也是原因之一。69%的非裔美国人、75%的西班牙人、70%的亚裔美国人和65%的白人承认，高中时他们自己“本可以更用心更努力地学习”。
正面观点鼓励孩子上大学家长们似乎是孩子上大学最好的推动者。10个里面有6个人说他们的家长非常希望他们上大学（61%的非裔美国人、59%的西班牙人、86%的亚裔美国人以及63%的白人）。每个群体里的大部分人都将家长称为对他们工作、上学等问题上做的决定影响最大的人。在鼓舞情绪方面，老师、教练以及其他成年导师也得到了高分。74%的非裔美国人、69%的西班牙人、63%的亚裔美国人以及66%的白人说有位高中老师对他们很偏爱，并且鼓励他们上大学。近似多的人说他们有位老师或教练激励他们努力上进。［4］至于高中咨询老师，参与调查的各种年轻人都表示咨询资源很有限，其中53%的人说他们所在的高中里咨询老师数量不足。约一半（52%）人说他们的学校咨询老师通常努力去了解他们，而47%的人说他们感到自己“只是人群中的另外一张面孔”。 不同的观点

［8］约十分之九（89%）的人一致认为“不是每个人都适合上大学”，57%的人一致认为“赚钱而不是坐在课堂”是有好处的。但是“高中后的生活”提出了关于没有大学学历的年轻人未来的严重问题。与那些有着2年或4年学历的人相比，这些没学历的人对他们的工作环境更不满意，也不注重规划未来。［6］这些受教育程度低的年轻人里只有五分之一表示喜欢他们的工作，而有学历的人里这一比例为31%。十分之七学历有限的人目前的工作都是偶然从事的，而不是预定好的，而在有学历的年轻工人中，这一比例为56%。缺少家长的鼓励似乎起到了很大作用。学历较低的年轻工人与学历较高的年轻工人相比，表示家长迫切希望自己上大学的人少30个百分点（32%和67%）。将家长称为自己头号导师的人比学历高的人少22个百分点（47%和69%）［5］。没有大学学历的人更可能说他们上学时本来可以更用功（78%的受教育程度低的人这样说，而在有学历的人中，这一比例为62%）。尽管传统观点或许认为没有大学学历的人高中时没有辅导老师，而事实上大部分人说他们在高中时的确有一个老师或教练偏爱并鼓励他们。
两性教育的不同［7］这项研究显示，与年轻男性相比，年轻女性对高中之后的教育价值问题更多地采取缄默态度。年轻男性更可能会说他们是因为“上学上够了”才不上大学或不上完大学的（32%，年轻女性中该比例为22%），而且他们更可能会说他们不完成附加教育是因为他们更愿意工作赚钱（56%和42%）。与之相反，十分之七（69%）上大学的年轻女性说她们“很享受呆在校园”，而持这一观点的上大学的年轻男性明显少于女性（58%）。 总结：希望、鼓励和取舍
［9］也许“高中后的生活”中最惊人的信息就是当今大量年轻人——包括各个种族和民族——认为高等教育是获得他们所渴望的社会尊重、确保事业腾飞以及经济保障的一种途径。 年轻人表示，在鼓励他们接受高等教育的人中，家长的作用最大。尖锐地说，“家长希望自己上大学，或家长是他们最重要的导师”这样的话在高中后没有继续接受教育的年轻人嘴里说出来的可能性要小得多。 ［10］这些调查结果显示，非裔美国人和西班牙人中的年轻人远比白人中的同龄人更可能说由于经济限制，他们不得不在上大学问题上妥协。
最后，调查报告指出“几乎所有人都不否认，没有高等学历，就无法生活得积极、体面、满意。有一个辩论很有帮助，该辩论是关于是否所有年轻人都需要或将会在高中毕业后硬着头皮继续上学。即便如此，也有必要询问，我们走那些无计划的、不计后果的职业道路时是否感到舒适，而这种职业道路似乎是很多不上大学的年轻人正在追求的。”Part IIISection A 11.
