人生沒有用不到的經歷

人要吃飯才能活命，所以必須要有農業。
吃五穀雜糧會生病，所以必須要有醫學。
版上一直有人對「財金」領域發問，版主並非財金專家，但家中有人可以解惑。下面有一則NBC新聞，版友們可以參考一下。當科技業發展到頂，人們開始感到厭惡時，回歸自然的「農業」或許是一二十年後的熱門產業。

羅傑斯：年輕人最好讀農學院 (NBC Friday, Oct 4, 2013)
對沖基金大亨吉姆‧羅傑斯（Jim Rogers）最近又語發驚人地表示，金融業即將面臨長期下滑趨勢，因此建議年輕人轉入農業，不要投入金融業。

NBC新聞網報導，羅傑斯接受訪談時說：「如果年輕人不知道做甚麼，我會鼓勵他們不要攻讀MBA，可考慮取得農業的學位。」

他認為取得MBA學位的年輕人犯了一個可怕的錯誤，因為他看壞整個金融領域。「金融業已經好了30年了，30年前就不怎麼好，這個現象會再度發生。金融業在衰退。未來，世界的中心將不會是金融業，它將是實體農作物的生產者。」

耶魯大學經濟學家席勒（Robert Shiller）最近也說過類似的話，他提問說：「我們大部分有才能的年輕人都選擇金融為職業了嗎？更精確地說，他們都投入了交易、投機等被認為『無生產力』的活動了嗎？」

阿肯色州立大學農業科技學院院長波強（Timothy Burcham）說：「我們正試圖在2050年用相同的可耕種面積餵養全球90億人口，現在擁有農學院學位的人有很好的機會，但他們未來的機會還真的會更棒。」

羅傑斯表示：「最近，我在尋找農業概念股，我對於購買農業相關的股票感到興奮。」他建議年輕人：「追求農學院學位，你將會變有錢。」


Jim Rogers: Skip the MBA, get an agriculture degree

Jim Rogers believes the finance industry is about to slip into secular decline. That's why the famed investor advises young people to pursue careers in farming rather than in finance.

"If you've got young people who don't know what to do, I'd urge them not to get MBAs, but to get agriculture degrees," Rogers told CNBC.com.

That's because the financial commentator and author of "Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets" is bearish about the entire financial field.

"Finance has been good the past 30 years, but it was not good the 30 years before that, and it's happening again," Rogers said. "Finance is in decline. In the future, the center of the world will not be finance—it's going to be the producers of real goods."

Economist Robert Shiller recently raised the related question of whether the "best and the brightest" are doing to the world a disservice by going into finance. In a September column in Project Syndicate, the Yale economics professor asked: "Are too many of our most talented people choosing careers in finance—and, more specifically, in trading, speculating, and other allegedly 'unproductive' activities?"

After all, there is a good argument that the agriculture field will present more compelling problems to solve.

"We are going to be trying to feed 9 billion people by 2050 with the same number of acres of arable land," said Timothy Burcham, dean of agriculture and technology at Arkansas State University. Calling that task "overwhelming," Burcham notes that "the opportunities for a person that has a graduate degree in agriculture are great now, but they are going to be really, really excellent going into the future."

Rogers is factoring the expected rise of the agriculture industry into his investing thesis. "Recently, I've been looking at agriculture stocks," Rogers said. "I've been excited about looking for things to buy in agriculture."

And in a late Wednesday telephone interview from Singapore, Rogers' prediction even took on a personal tone. He advised this writer: "Pursue an agriculture degree, and you'll be rich."
