Introduction
A thriving career is defined by opportunities for advancement and increasing earning potential, in contrast to a job that merely pays the bills. As a rule of thumb, those who aspire to be in the dream job should enroll in a four-year program instead of starting their careers right out of high school.

Body paragraph 1
At first glance, having a four-year college degree is a proxy for proficiency in STEM and health-related domains; a deprivation of the hard-earnt diploma explicitly keeps job offers at bay. Another rationale relates to multi-interdisciplinary studies that prevail in contemporary universities. For example, combination of digital marketing and cognitive studies could ultimately boost graduates’ understanding about potential consumers, while juggling between environmental science and business could augment one’s environmental consciousness when making corporate dividends. Finally, academic frameworks in college make it more possible for employees-to-be to be equipped with evidence-based analyzing skills, negotiating skills and research abilities. These calibers could increase one’s odds of navigating uncharted territory in future career.
解析
本段译文(translation)：
乍一看，拥有四年制大学学位代表着对STEM和健康相关领域的精通;缺乏来之不易的文凭显然会让工作机会无从下手。另一个理由与当代大学盛行的多学科研究有关。例如，数字营销和认知研究的结合最终可以提高毕业生对潜在消费者的了解，而在环境科学和商业之间进行平衡可以增强一个人在企业创收时的环境意识。最后，大学的学术框架使未来的员工更有可能具备基于证据的分析技能、谈判技巧和研究能力。这些能力可以增加一个人在未来职业生涯中成功横渡未知领域的几率。

Body paragraph 2
Although the benefits of attending universities sound plausible, we cannot ignore that the so-called proxy for elite education has been a threshold for entry-level posts in many mammoth corporations, which prefers a budget-saving route by offering training and education programs to degree-less workers. Worse, error-free automation not only trimmed many labor-oriented operation workers, but also creativity-oriented posts like editors and directors. This shrinking labor need bodes ill for those who spent four years in a certain field, which further explains the growing disenchantment with the higher education system. There is, though, another side of the story; a pronounced rise is shown in vacancies of middle-skill jobs, ranging from sales representatives and clerks to inspectors and construction workers. Being a synonym for middle-class lifestyle, these middle-skill jobs are embraced and pursued by many 18-year-olds who wish to settle down as soon as possible.
解析
本段译文(translation)：
虽然上大学的好处听起来似乎是合理的，但我们不能忽视的是，所谓的精英教育的代表已经沦为许多大公司入门级职位的门槛，但这些大公司倾向于通过向没有学位的员工提供培训和教育项目来节省预算。更糟糕的是，无差错的自动化不仅减少了许多以劳动为导向的操作人员，而且还减少了编辑和导演等以创造性为导向的职位。劳动力需求的萎缩对那些在某一领域工作了四年的人来说是不祥之兆，这也进一步解释了人们对高等教育体系越来越不抱幻想的原因。不过，这个故事还有另一面;从销售代表、职员到检查员和建筑工人等中等技能职位的空缺明显增加。作为中产阶级生活方式的代名词，这些中等技能的工作被许多希望尽快安定下来的18岁年轻人所接受和追求。

Conclusion
In essence, it is too naïve and narrow-minded to have a universally-standardized paradigm of a booming career; the dreadful return of lofty qualifications could worry flabby young people who dismiss personal talents and shifting employment landscape in defining career.
解析
