学习历史很像新闻。你正朝着一个目的地前进，这可能会很痛苦，因为你正在接收所有这些信息。你会想，“我到底要怎么适应这个，或者我要扩大这个?”这就像一个魔方，试着找出我如何以这种有组织的方式来呈现它，这样我的读者就会觉得，“他给了我一个我以前不知道的洞察力。”我叫约翰·斯托尔，是《华尔街日报》的商业专栏作家。我2000年毕业于奥克兰大学，获得万博ManBetX登录了历史学学位。我的工作基本上就是把美国企业界发生的最重大的商业问题写出来，让周末的读者也能读懂。我工作中最令人兴奋的部分就是宣布消息。能够对你的读者说，“有些东西你不知道。”当第一总是让人肾上腺素激增。 The truth is very hard to get at. It takes a lot of research and a lot of conversations with a diverse group of sources and a diverse group of people to really get at what really happened. That's what journalists do. Journalists try to tell you the truth. I'm always using the tools of trying to find the primary sources, trying to find people who were there. I went to Oakland University's history department never thinking that I was going to be a historian or teach history. I wanted to learn how to study and I wanted to learn how to research and I wanted to learn how to make arguments. Now, a lot of people would say, "What are you going to do with a history degree?" You can do a lot with a history degree. You're going to learn a lot about how to classify information, how to find people, how to relate with people and talk to people and empathize, and see the other side of things that maybe you hadn't seen before. You don't have to go anywhere else to get the best history education. You'll get it at Oakland. Because of my history degree, I understand.
