21、few years,while 57,000 secretarial jobs will vanish.Blame the PC:Today,many executives type their own memos and carry their secretaries in the palms of their hands.Time is also hard for stock clerks,whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68,000.And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers a

25、 to find a well-paying job.Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available,whats left will be the jobs that compumation cant kill:Computers cant clean offices,or care for A1zheimers patients(老年痴呆病人).But,since most people have the skills to fill those positions,the wages stay painfully low,me
26、aning compumpation could drive an even deeper wedge(楔子)between the rich and poor.The best advice now:Never stop learning,and keep up with new technology.For busy adults,of course,that can be tough.The good news is that the very technology thats reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go ba

33、literacy programs,such as the one where I teach basic grammar and writing.There,high-school graduates and high-school dropouts pursuing graduate-equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned in school.They will also discover they have been cheated by our educational system.

38、mment I hear frequently.Even sadder are those students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class,“I dont know how I ever got a high-school diploma.”Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and employers who expect graduates to have basic skills.We excu

46、re has been a sea change over the last 10 years.Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education.”Not all efforts at name changes are successful,of course.In 1997,the New School for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges,off
47、ering a list of majors that includes psychology,music,urban studies and management.But New Yorkers continued to call it the New School.Now,after spending an undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultants creation of“naming structures,”“brand architecture”and“identity systems,”the un
48、iversity has come up with a new name:the New School.Beginning Monday,it will adopt new logos(标识),banners,business cards and even new names for the individual colleges,all to include thewords“the New School.”Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived.I
