八、教育文化：创业

Increasingly, it has become common for university students to take on part-time jobs or even start their own businesses prior to graduation. From the information given in the pie chart, we can see a survey on the reasons for starting one's own business among college students at a certain university. Those whose goal is to become entrepreneurs account for 44%of the total,the biggest among all the five categories, while thosewho could not find suitable jobs account for15%.

大学生兼职或在毕业前就开始创业的现象日益普及。从上述饼状图中，我们可以看到对某高校学生创业原因的调查。那些目标就是创业者的学生占44%，在五种原因中比例最大，而那些未找到合适工作的学生占15%。

As long as students are cautious,real-world entrepreneurial experience can greatly benefit their future careers.Above all, students who launch their own business can gain valuable insight into their future career paths.Some students may even choose to switch majors as a result of insight gained from work experience or entrepreneurial activities. In addition, regardless of whether a studentsucceeds or fails in a business venture,the mere fact of having work experience will come in handy when seeking a full-time job after graduation.Employers will regard students with such experience as more ambitious, hard-working and mature than graduates who lack it. However, despite the benefits to students of“getting their feet wet”in the business world, it is crucial that they maintain academic studies as a top priority.

只要学生们能谨慎行事，现实社会的创业经历对他们将来的职业是非常有益的。首先，创业的学生对自己未来的职业道路能有清晰的认识。一些学生在兼职或创业的过程中，能对他们的专业有更深入的了解，有些甚至会选择调换专业。其次，且不管学生在创业中成败与否，只要学生拥有一份工作经验，那就能在毕业找工作时派上用场。雇主会认为，与那些缺乏工作经验的学生相比，他们有更强烈的上进心，工作更努力，而且更为成熟。然而，尽管学生能在涉足商界的经历中获益匪浅，但将学习放在首位仍然非常关键。

Ultimately,every student must decide how best to allocate his or her time outside of class.Indeed,many college-goers are wary of venturing into the real world until absolutely necessary.However, for those witha manageable schedule, exploratory mind and entrepreneurial spirit, work experience prior to graduation can offer important career benefits—not to mention a paycheck.

最终，每个学生都得知道如何才能最好地分配课余时间。的确，有很多学生只有在迫不得已时，才会跨入现实社会中。但是对于那些能合理安排时间，有探索精神和创业理想的同学而言，毕业前的工作经验会使他们在未来的职场中受益匪浅，更别提他们拿到的那份薪水了。
