28、f the American education system,grabbing their passports,and seekingcheaper degrees abroad.The number of students doing so has increased 2 percentannually in recent years,according to the Department of Education.In 2009,Jessica Fuller,then 25,was employed at a small private universityin Philadelphia

29、 as a clerk in an office.Bored with her job and becoming increasinglyinterested in healthcare industry,Fuller knew she would need a masters degreein public health for her dream career.At first,Fuller wanted a school in New York and Pennsylvania,but with manyprograms costing over$30,000 per year for

30、tuition alone,she decided on an optionshe could better afford-the Netherlands.A similar degree in health economicscost less than$17,000 for a one-year program.To finance her education at Erasmus University in Rotterdam,Fuller took outa$30,000 bank loan through her mothers credit,which covered tuitio

37、s a child during World War II,when I sawmany adults destroyed by the terrible events.But there were always a few who kepttheir courage,helped others,and were able to give a sense of purpose and meaningto their lives.I wanted to find out how a person could build a fulfilling andenjoyable life.”In gen

41、a big bowl of ice cream,or taking a hotbath on a cold day-nothing bad at all!But enjoyment is about doing somethingand achieving something.It isnt really importantwhatwe do,its more importanttodo something,and feel positive about it,and to try to do it well.”People who are not used to happiness can
