1
00:00:00,895 --> 00:00:03,785
今時今日，有四千萬個美國人

2
00:00:03,785 --> 00:00:07,259
孭住一筆讀書債投身社會

3
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:10,193
佢哋屋企窮，要借錢讀大學

4
00:00:10,193 --> 00:00:14,509
而家夾埋嘅債務有成一兆美金咁多

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:17,998
呢班畢業生乜嘢工都要試

6
00:00:17,998 --> 00:00:20,457
為求還得清自己筆債

7
00:00:21,201 --> 00:00:23,013
喺美國

8
00:00:23,013 --> 00:00:28,804
連一個破咗產嘅爛賭二都翻身有望

9
00:00:30,221 --> 00:00:32,523
但完全唔使指意

10
00:00:32,523 --> 00:00:36,712
一個畢業生可以還清筆債

11
00:00:40,461 --> 00:00:42,695
以前响美國

12
00:00:42,695 --> 00:00:46,405
讀大學唔等於要負債纍纍咁畢業

13
00:00:46,999 --> 00:00:48,199
我朋友阿 Paul

14
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:51,719
佢爸爸喺科羅拉多州立大學畢業

15
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,299
當年有退伍軍人法保障

16
00:00:55,546 --> 00:00:57,078
嗰個年代

17
00:00:57,078 --> 00:00:59,590
大學學費全免，又或者近乎零

18
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:02,557
因為政府覺得大專學歷對社會有益

19
00:01:03,496 --> 00:01:05,322
但好景不常

20
00:01:06,171 --> 00:01:10,111
輪到阿 Paul 喺同一間大學畢業嗰陣

21
00:01:10,111 --> 00:01:13,914
英文系畢業嘅佢，要做住兼職嚟還債

22
00:01:13,914 --> 00:01:15,315
卅年前

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,030
多數人都畀得起大學學費

24
00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:21,426
你爭落嘅錢，畢業之前就可以還晒

25
00:01:21,672 --> 00:01:23,102
但好景不常

26
00:01:23,829 --> 00:01:27,223
輪到阿 Paul 個囡同樣步佢後塵

27
00:01:27,227 --> 00:01:28,528
唯一唔同嘅係

28
00:01:28,532 --> 00:01:31,044
五年前佢畢業嗰陣

29
00:01:31,048 --> 00:01:32,557
孭住成身債

30
00:01:33,179 --> 00:01:36,551
阿 Kate 同埋其他大學生都要借錢

31
00:01:36,551 --> 00:01:39,474
因為大學學費經已貴到

32
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:43,387
好多美國家庭都負擔唔起

33
00:01:44,427 --> 00:01:45,917
咁又點啫？

34
00:01:45,917 --> 00:01:48,725
借筆錢嚟投資一個貴價學位

35
00:01:48,725 --> 00:01:51,435
只要第日還到錢，就唔成問題啦

36
00:01:51,435 --> 00:01:54,859
有大學學歷，起碼有得賺多啲嘛

37
00:01:55,289 --> 00:01:58,009
但問題嘅癥結就响呢度

38
00:01:59,292 --> 00:02:03,158
連一個 2001 年畢業嘅人所賺嘅錢

39
00:02:03,158 --> 00:02:05,259
比起 2013 年畢業嘅 Kate

40
00:02:05,272 --> 00:02:07,407
仲要多出 10%

41
00:02:07,984 --> 00:02:09,134
所以…

42
00:02:09,779 --> 00:02:11,432
學費飆升

43
00:02:11,432 --> 00:02:12,979
津貼少咗

44
00:02:12,979 --> 00:02:15,260
家庭收入又縮咗水

45
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:17,882
個人收入微薄

46
00:02:18,241 --> 00:02:21,400
唔怪得有多過四分一嘅畢業生

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,857
連要還債都還唔到

48
00:02:26,072 --> 00:02:29,813
不過，最壞嘅時刻亦係最好嘅時刻

49
00:02:29,813 --> 00:02:33,841
因為啲事實就攞喺响你面前，唔理唔得

50
00:02:34,256 --> 00:02:36,802
今日我想講其中三個事實

51
00:02:37,571 --> 00:02:41,505
1.2 兆美金嘅學債

52
00:02:41,505 --> 00:02:43,934
明顯反映咗

53
00:02:43,958 --> 00:02:47,696
大學教育經已淪為一種消費品

54
00:02:48,283 --> 00:02:53,095
我哋講起教育就好似班資本家咁

55
00:02:53,095 --> 00:02:57,646
將教育當係投資，愛嚟增強人力資本

56
00:02:57,646 --> 00:02:59,821
訓練啲人出嚟做嘢

57
00:02:59,821 --> 00:03:04,535
愛嚟將啲學生按等級分類

58
00:03:04,539 --> 00:03:07,707
等啲僱主請人嗰陣容易啲

59
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:11,794
《美國新聞與世界報導》
公布大學排名嘅方式

60
00:03:11,818 --> 00:03:15,071
十足啲消費報告評估啲洗衣機咁款

61
00:03:15,095 --> 00:03:18,858
份報告用詞粗暴到極

62
00:03:18,882 --> 00:03:22,047
叫啲老師做「服務提供者」

63
00:03:22,047 --> 00:03:24,360
叫啲學生做「消費者」

64
00:03:25,459 --> 00:03:29,374
社會學呀，莎士比亞呀
足球同埋科學呀

65
00:03:29,374 --> 00:03:32,149
呢啲冚唪唥叫做「服務內容」

66
00:03:32,798 --> 00:03:34,729
學業借貸好好賺

67
00:03:34,729 --> 00:03:36,923
不過賺嗰個唔會係你

68
00:03:37,741 --> 00:03:42,100
你嘅債務甚至養肥咗
成個學生借貸行業

69
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:44,507
呢個行頭其中兩條巨龍

70
00:03:44,507 --> 00:03:46,558
Sallie Mae 同埋 Navient

71
00:03:46,558 --> 00:03:51,794
公布上年總盈利一共有 12 億美金

72
00:03:52,568 --> 00:03:55,160
學生貸款正正同樓宇按揭一樣

73
00:03:55,164 --> 00:03:58,334
可以係捆綁式、套餐式同拆件式

74
00:03:58,334 --> 00:04:00,029
响華爾街出售

75
00:04:00,029 --> 00:04:01,895
啲大專院校

76
00:04:01,895 --> 00:04:05,609
投資呢啲證券貸款嘅時候

77
00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:07,595
頭尾賺兩轉

78
00:04:07,595 --> 00:04:09,256
首先賺你筆學費

79
00:04:09,256 --> 00:04:11,560
跟住賺你啲息口

80
00:04:12,528 --> 00:04:14,958
睇見盤生意咁好賺

81
00:04:14,958 --> 00:04:19,771
大家仲會奇怪嗰啲高等教育辦學團體

82
00:04:19,771 --> 00:04:23,055
點解會用啲失實嘅宣傳手段

83
00:04:23,055 --> 00:04:24,702
嚟推銷利誘

84
00:04:26,335 --> 00:04:30,990
藉教育嚟剝削緊乜都唔知嘅學生嗎？

85
00:04:32,144 --> 00:04:33,294
第三：

86
00:04:33,308 --> 00:04:35,347
學位經已淪為品牌

87
00:04:35,531 --> 00:04:38,092
當年我有個老師寫話：

88
00:04:38,116 --> 00:04:40,641
「當學生變成一班消費者，

89
00:04:40,641 --> 00:04:44,266
佢哋就會喺度盲追學位，鬥生鬥死。」

90
00:04:47,794 --> 00:04:51,989
正如蘋果不斷向人推銷新款 iPhone

91
00:04:51,989 --> 00:04:55,421
做教育嘅亦可以不斷向人推銷學位

92
00:04:56,387 --> 00:04:58,713
昨日嘅中學，變成今日嘅大學

93
00:04:58,713 --> 00:05:00,251
一早有人咁講過

94
00:05:01,168 --> 00:05:02,807
但點解要停喺呢一步？

95
00:05:02,811 --> 00:05:06,408
大學可以不斷招攬人讀文憑，讀完再讀

96
00:05:06,408 --> 00:05:08,688
再讀碩士學位、博士學位

97
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:15,149
佢哋仲推銷專上教育係地位嘅象徵

98
00:05:16,634 --> 00:05:17,769
買學位

99
00:05:17,769 --> 00:05:20,770
同你買架凌志、買個 LV 一樣

100
00:05:20,770 --> 00:05:22,668
係買嚟抬高身價

101
00:05:22,668 --> 00:05:25,469
靠佢，你可以招人妒忌

102
00:05:26,669 --> 00:05:28,930
學位已經淪為品牌

103
00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:35,629
但係呢啲真相成日畀一片叫賣聲掩埋

104
00:05:36,365 --> 00:05:39,471
日日硬係有班政客

105
00:05:39,471 --> 00:05:43,226
喺個公仔箱度同我哋講：

106
00:05:43,226 --> 00:05:45,064
「大學學位好重要，

107
00:05:45,064 --> 00:05:48,411
有佢先可以扶搖直上、做到中產。」

108
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:52,552
通常理據就係專上學歷競爭力高：

109
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:57,839
大專畢業比起高中畢業平均賺多 56%

110
00:05:58,425 --> 00:06:00,473
我哋再細心啲解讀個數字

111
00:06:00,497 --> 00:06:01,823
因為驟眼睇

112
00:06:01,847 --> 00:06:05,191
個數字好似喺度推翻緊嗰啲

113
00:06:05,215 --> 00:06:09,603
「大學畢業做收銀沖咖啡」
之類嘅新聞咁

114
00:06:10,545 --> 00:06:15,696
响 100 個有專上學歷嘅人裏面

115
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,768
45 個冇順利畢業

116
00:06:18,792 --> 00:06:21,858
原因好多，財政困難係其一

117
00:06:22,245 --> 00:06:24,188
嗰 55 個順利畢業嘅人

118
00:06:24,212 --> 00:06:26,254
有兩個冇嘢做

119
00:06:26,254 --> 00:06:29,014
有 18 個搵唔到長工

120
00:06:30,058 --> 00:06:33,587
雖然大學畢業生搵得多過中學畢業生

121
00:06:33,587 --> 00:06:36,624
但究竟佢哋夠唔夠填嗰筆巨債

122
00:06:36,624 --> 00:06:39,435
同埋你讀書嗰陣冇咗嘅搵錢機會呢？

123
00:06:39,661 --> 00:06:42,257
依家連經濟學家都承認

124
00:06:42,281 --> 00:06:47,511
只有順利畢到業嘅大學生先還得哂


125
00:06:48,095 --> 00:06:52,127
而純粹係因為中學畢業生嘅薪水


126
00:06:52,151 --> 00:06:53,801
幾廿年嚟大幅縮水

127
00:06:55,369 --> 00:06:57,258
咁多年嚟

128
00:06:57,282 --> 00:06:59,639
有高中學歷嘅人

129
00:06:59,663 --> 00:07:03,766
付出同收入唔成正比

130
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,385
若果佢哋可以賺返佢哋應得嘅水平

131
00:07:07,409 --> 00:07:11,362
咁讀大學對好多人嚟講肯定係蝕大本

132
00:07:11,386 --> 00:07:13,512
大學畢業生薪水嘅溢價

133
00:07:13,941 --> 00:07:15,835
我睇都係靠高中畢業生倒貼而嚟

134
00:07:16,235 --> 00:07:21,182
有三份二嘅大學畢業生發現
工作未如理想

135
00:07:21,756 --> 00:07:24,687
佢哋唔睇好前景

136
00:07:24,687 --> 00:07:26,637
或者直情覺得前途暗淡

137
00:07:26,637 --> 00:07:29,581
而正正係佢哋要去承受

138
00:07:30,541 --> 00:07:33,224
學債帶嚟嘅沉重負擔

139
00:07:33,882 --> 00:07:36,523
最心悒嘅係，正正係佢哋

140
00:07:36,583 --> 00:07:40,701
畀人最落力用學位升值呢個理由氹落搭

141
00:07:41,686 --> 00:07:44,413
咁嘅銷售伎倆，自私自利不特止

142
00:07:44,413 --> 00:07:46,167
仲係麻木不仁

143
00:07:46,987 --> 00:07:48,427
咁我哋做啲乜嘢好？

144
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:55,218
如果學生同家長都當學位係商品呢？

145
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:58,078
個個似乎都咁睇

146
00:07:58,686 --> 00:08:00,682
買任何商品嗰陣

147
00:08:00,682 --> 00:08:03,471
你會要人哋清楚交代件貨嘅詳情

148
00:08:03,495 --> 00:08:04,750
你去買藥

149
00:08:04,750 --> 00:08:06,649
佢會寫明有咩副作用

150
00:08:06,673 --> 00:08:08,689
你買件大學商品嗰陣

151
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:10,443
佢需要有張警告標籤

152
00:08:10,467 --> 00:08:12,503
畀消費者有權揀

153
00:08:12,503 --> 00:08:14,242
知情下做決定

154
00:08:14,838 --> 00:08:15,924
你去買車

155
00:08:15,924 --> 00:08:18,528
佢會話你知每加侖預計跑到幾多里

156
00:08:18,528 --> 00:08:20,904
但冇人會預計到讀完大學

157
00:08:20,904 --> 00:08:24,326
譬如讀完科「加拿大研究」前景會係點

158
00:08:24,326 --> 00:08:26,835
真係有呢個學系㗎

159
00:08:28,589 --> 00:08:31,794
假如有個應用程式可以話個前景我哋知？

160
00:08:34,402 --> 00:08:39,500
計吓個學費同預期人工係咪成正比

161
00:08:39,798 --> 00:08:42,574
暫且叫個應用程式做 
Income-Based Tuition 或者 IBT 啦

162
00:08:42,598 --> 00:08:44,120
係你哋其中一個人設計而嚟

163
00:08:44,144 --> 00:08:45,327
（笑聲）

164
00:08:45,327 --> 00:08:47,569
正視返你嘅前途問題

165
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:49,646
（笑聲）

166
00:08:49,646 --> 00:08:53,595
IBT 呢個應用程式有三個好處

167
00:08:55,232 --> 00:08:57,121
用戶可以知道

168
00:08:57,145 --> 00:09:00,789
讀完某某大學同埋學系，人工會係幾多

169
00:09:01,105 --> 00:09:02,447
用家有咗呢啲資訊

170
00:09:02,471 --> 00:09:03,970
就冇咁易

171
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:07,744
畀啲無良推銷員氹得掂

172
00:09:07,744 --> 00:09:09,524
同時可以揀得明智啲

173
00:09:09,524 --> 00:09:12,006
到時仲邊有人會交一筆

174
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:15,276
高過預期人工 15% 嘅學費出嚟呢?

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,756
IBT 有第二個好處

176
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:22,740
透過顯示學費同薪金嘅關係

177
00:09:22,764 --> 00:09:27,185
大學管理層必須要運用新思維

178
00:09:27,209 --> 00:09:29,549
去妥善釐訂學費

179
00:09:29,573 --> 00:09:30,727
譬如

180
00:09:30,751 --> 00:09:34,751
大部份嘅學生不論學系，學費劃一

181
00:09:35,478 --> 00:09:39,845
呢個制度明顯好唔公平，需要改革

182
00:09:40,295 --> 00:09:44,216
工程系嘅學生通常用到嘅資源

183
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,649
譬如設施、實驗室、教職員呢啲

184
00:09:46,673 --> 00:09:48,561
會多過哲學系嘅學生

185
00:09:49,581 --> 00:09:50,939
但呢班哲學生

186
00:09:50,939 --> 00:09:53,980
變相資助緊班工程系學生

187
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:56,991
第時人工高一截嘅工程系學生

188
00:09:57,015 --> 00:10:00,096
點解要兩個人買嘅貨一樣

189
00:10:00,096 --> 00:10:01,695
畀嘅錢一樣

190
00:10:01,695 --> 00:10:04,992
但其中一個淨係享用到
一半甚或三份一呢？

191
00:10:06,448 --> 00:10:10,519
事實上，某啲學系嘅畢業生

192
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:13,887
拎緊人工嘅 25% 嚟還債

193
00:10:13,887 --> 00:10:16,490
但另一啲拎 5% 就得

194
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:22,216
咁學科收費合理啲就會消除呢啲不公平

195
00:10:23,042 --> 00:10:25,201
當然啦，而家呢堆資料…

196
00:10:25,225 --> 00:10:27,299
我諗在座會有人走去搞㗎可？

197
00:10:27,323 --> 00:10:29,170
呢堆資料要有人整理好

198
00:10:29,194 --> 00:10:31,292
譬如交畀會計公司做審計

199
00:10:31,316 --> 00:10:33,268
避免畀啲統計數字呃

200
00:10:33,292 --> 00:10:35,257
統計大家都識㗎可？

201
00:10:36,466 --> 00:10:37,989
除咗正話兩個好處

202
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:42,394
第三個，而且係 IBT 最大嘅好處

203
00:10:42,418 --> 00:10:47,381
就係令美國人唔使驚再陷入財困

204
00:10:47,381 --> 00:10:50,147
唔使再驚買咗件爛貨返嚟

205
00:10:50,813 --> 00:10:52,896
或者某個時刻

206
00:10:52,896 --> 00:10:55,404
新舊兩代嘅美國人重新發現

207
00:10:55,428 --> 00:10:57,479
正如頭先嗰位講者所講

208
00:10:57,479 --> 00:10:59,688
對知識嘅追求同熱愛

209
00:10:59,712 --> 00:11:01,149
開始學啲想學嘅嘢

210
00:11:01,173 --> 00:11:03,812
鍾意自己學緊嘅嘢，隨心而行

211
00:11:04,577 --> 00:11:07,046
深受知識所啟發

212
00:11:07,070 --> 00:11:10,507
去探索自己渴望探索嘅事物

213
00:11:10,848 --> 00:11:15,298
望返轉頭，其實係阿 Eric 同 Kevin

214
00:11:15,322 --> 00:11:16,490
兩年前

215
00:11:17,498 --> 00:11:20,930
正正係呢一班後生仔

216
00:11:20,954 --> 00:11:22,976
佢哋鼓勵我，同我共事

217
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,561
到到而家

218
00:11:24,585 --> 00:11:28,561
依然落力研究緊美國呢個學生貸款問題

219
00:11:29,272 --> 00:11:30,803
好多謝大家！

220
00:11:30,827 --> 00:11:35,391
（鼓掌）
