主题：奥巴马眼里的工作 -- mandman

昨天，耐着性子从头到尾听完了奥巴马对国会联合会议的演说，又臭又长，了无新意。

唯一让我感兴趣的是下面这段话：

And I think about Ty’Sheoma Bethea, the young girl from that school I visited in Dillon, South Carolina – a place where the ceilings leak, the paint peels off the walls, and they have to stop teaching six times a day because the train barrels by their classroom. She has been told that her school is hopeless, but the other day after class she went to the public library and typed up a letter to the people sitting in this room. She even asked her principal for the money to buy a stamp. The letter asks us for help, and says, "We are just students trying to become lawyers, doctors, congressmen like yourself and one day president, so we can make a change to not just the state of South Carolina but also the world. We are not quitters."

看看美国小学生的思想觉悟！他（她）们眼里的职业出路就是律师、医生和国会议员，就没有其它的社会分工了。当然，奥巴马引用了这段话，肯定也是赞同的，因为只有这些职业才能够“make a change to not just the state of South Carolina but also the world”，从事其它职业的人，就是为这些职业服务的，也就不值一提了。
