阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
The U. S. Department of Labor statistics (collection of information shown in numbers) show that there is an oversupply of college - trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an oversupply of teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the positions for which they were trained and must take jobs, which do not require a college degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, and TV repairmen.
These people have more work than they can deal with, and their incomes every year are often higher than those of college graduates. The opinion that white - collar workers make a better living than blue - collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a bright future. A large number of people in American society connects success in life with a college degree. Parents begin forcing their children to believe this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (注册) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs suited to them.
One result of this importance on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.
