Buying the Dip: Studying Abroad Is Your Best Investment Now
投資自己趁現在
Although the global airline industry and tourism have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, the impact will ultimately come to an end. Now is the best time to plan for studying or working abroad; just as people don’t buy a promising stock at a high price but instead at the lowest possible price.
雖然因為疫情關係,全球航空、觀光業皆遭受重創,不過疫情總會過去,現在可是規劃出國進修或就職的黃金時間,就跟股票投資一樣,不會在最高的時候進場,一定是先看好其發展性,趁相對低點的時候投資才明智,
