问题     Many students today display a disturbing willingness to choose academ
ic institutions, fields of study and careers in the basis of earning potential. In (1)______
an extensive 1989 survey of college students nationwide, 72 percent of students
reported that their primary objective to attending college was to make more (2)______
money upon graduation. This state of mind came with the present genera
tion. Studies show that the majority of baby boomers attended college to
develop themselves, their critically thinking skills and their personal phi- (3)______
losophies of life.
    Nationally, the number of students going into business-related fields has
sharply increased, and this rise has attributed primarily to the shift in edu- (4)______
cational and career priorities. At Duke, economy is now the most popular (5)______
major, attracting nearly 15 percent of undergraduates, and history majors (6)______
comprise only 5 percent of the undergraduate population. Thirty years ago
the situation was reversed, with economic and business administration ma
jors together consisting 8.7 percent of undergraduates and almost 12 percent (7)______
of undergraduates declared themselves history majors. The number of Eng- (8)______
lish majors has also decreased, from 9 percent in 1969 to 5.5 percent today.
    Degrees in economics are marketed and likely to garner their (9)______
holders of high salaries without the added effort of medical or law school. (10)______
And given the objectives of current college students, such options are attractive. [br] (5)
