　　The past several years have witnessed the emergence of a widespread social phenomenon. That is, a growing number of people are in quest of college education for adult despite whatever degrees they have required before. It is reported that 390 university graduates, together with 15 candidates who have masters degrees have taken the National Adult College Entrance Examination in Shanghai this year. This issue, without the slightest question, has given rise to great concern in the public.

　　Peoples attitudes towards this phenomenon differ widely. Some find it quite understandable when considering the fact that life-long education is an era of knowledge explosion. Rather, one has to recharge himself with updated information so as to keep up with the development of the society. And yet those who hold negative views regard it as a waste of time as well as educational resources.

　　Personally, I am in favor of the former opinion. Education is becoming a lifetime study, just as the old saying goes: live and learn. After all, there is no denying the fact that education is of benefit to both personal growth and economic prosperity. And this is also the exact reason why I have determined to do an MBA.

　　过去几年目睹了一个广泛社会现象的出现：那就是越来越多的人尽管之前已经获得学位，仍然报考成人高校。据报道，今年在上海报名全国成人高考的考生中，有390名本科毕业生和15名硕士生。这个问题无疑已经引起了公众的极大关注。

　　人们对这一现象的态度截然不同。有人考虑到在一个知识爆炸的时代，我们需要终身教育这一事实，认为这种现象合情合理。相反，为了跟上社会的发展，一个人必须利用最新信息自我充电。而那些持相反意见的人认为这是一种时间和教育资源的浪费。

　　个人而言，我支持前者的观点。教育正在变为终身学习。正如老话所说：活到老，学到老。毕竟，不可否认这一事实：教育对个人发展和经济繁荣均有益处。这也是为什么我决定攻读MBA的确切原因。
