1) The author suggests that people "invest in knowledge that won't wear out". What kind of knowledge do youthink he's reffering to?
I think that he is saying that we should invest in knowledege that won't die away, becasue only a few individuals have specialized in it. If we invest in some specialized field, and dedicate all of our time to it, it won't be worth it becasue the need for that knowledge may die out. We should learn things that we will always need and that we can sharem, and everyone can benefit from. If we keep a broad perspective when learning, we'll learn all kinds of information, so even if the need for a type of knowledge we gained dies out, we'll still have other knowledge to rely on.
2)How could you make your own undergraduate studies more of an exploration and less of a routine?
The idea is to keep a broad perspective when learning. In the first two years of college when I'm taking general ed, I can take different types of classes in different areas, to explore different fields, and than narrow my focus in the last two years. In doing so i'll have a background of many types of knowlegde instead of just the one i choose to specialize in.
