Q：Can I get a job outside of my college degree?
A：You can absolutely shift career paths! I’ve seen this successfully done time and time again．
The fact that you are earning your degree speaks volumes．Employers will want to know what degree you earned and what you studied，but as a recruiter，I’d be more focused on the types of internships you’ve taken，your skills and experiences (study abroad counts，as well)．Subject matter counts，too．So if you’re passionate about psychology and can fit in psychology classes，go for it．(I actually majored in psychology!) I knew at the time that understanding people would be a valuable asset to have during every stage of my life—both business and personal．
As a former Big 4 recruiter，I was only able to internally recruit candidates for certain positions if they had a degree in accounting．If they earned a degree in business or economics，I was not able to hire them．So，it can help if you can work backwards and begin with the end in mind．For example，if you want to eventually pursue a career in communications，start looking at job openings to determine what type of degree the jobs require．
1.What’s the speaker’s attitude towards working outside of one’s degree?(A)
A. The speaker focuses more on one’s internship experience rather than the degree．
B. The speaker encourages people to work outside of one’s degree．
C. The speaker thinks it is not wise to choose a career that is not related to one’s degree．
D. The speaker considers it risky to work outside of one’s degree．
解析：态度题。题干：演讲者(即作者)对从事与大学文凭无关的工作持什么态度?
文章第三段首句点明所得文凭是能够说明一些事情的(The fact that you are earning your degree speaks volumes)，but一词转折，表明作者是持不同的想法的，即“…but as a recruiter，I’d be more focused on the types of internships you’ve taken，your skills and experiences(但作为一名招聘人员，我更关注的是应聘者的实习经历、技能和经验)”，由此可知，相比一个人的文凭而言，作者认为应聘者更关注的是人们的实习经历，故A项“演讲者更注重一个人的实习经历，而不是文凭”正确。
文章第一段提出问题：我能找到一份与大学文凭无关的工作吗?第二段明确给出答案：你绝对可以改变职业道路!由此可知，作者对从事与大学文凭无关的工作是持积极态度的。但这并不表明作者鼓励人们去从事与自己所学无关的工作。故B项“演讲者鼓励人们从事与所获文凭无关的工作”不符合文意，C项“演讲者认为选择与所获文凭无关的职业是不明智的”与文章意思相悖，故排除。
D项“演讲者认为从事与所获文凭无关的工作是有风险的”在文中没有提及，故排除。综上所述，本题选A。
2.Which of the following approaches to getting the ideal job is recommended by the speaker?(D)
A. To apply for one’s dream job directly．
B. To change one’s major．
C. To understand people．
D. To take classes related to the job．
解析：推断题。题干：演讲者(即作者)建议采用下列哪种方式来获得一份理想的工作?文章没有直截了当地阐述，需要在理解文章内容、把握文章结构的基础上选择正确答案。
最后一段指出，作者之前作为四大会计师事务所的招聘人员，内部招聘时只招聘具有会计文凭的人，而不选择获得商业或者经济文凭的人。所以在文章最后，作者通过举例给出建议：“For example，if you want to eventually pursue a career in communications，start looking at job openings to determine what type of degree the jobs require．(例如，如果你最终想在通信领域发展，那就开始寻找工作机会来确定这份工作需要什么样的文凭)”，言下之意也就是建议应聘者去学习与工作有关的课程。因此D项“参加与工作相关的课程”为正确选项。
A项“直接申请理想的工作”和B项“更换专业”，在文中均未提及，故排除。
C项“理解他人”，根据选项内容定位至文章第三段最后一句“I knew at the time that understanding people would be a valuable asset to have during every stage of my life—both business and personal．(我当时就知道，无论是在工作上还是在个人生活的各个阶段，理解他人都是一笔宝贵的财富)”，由此可知“理解他人”只是作者的体会和感悟，并非给应聘者的工作建议，故排除。综上所述，本题选D。
3.The phrase“speaks volumes”in the third paragraph could be replaced by ________．(A)
A. provides a lot of information
B. means nothing
C. proves something
D. helps a lot
