Speaker 2
I'm a carnivore, I eat meat. I'm 26 years old and I am a workaholic. I frequently think about going to work. I'm slightly in debt. My favorite band is black sabbath.
Speaker 1
I am in college. I used to work part time but I'm unemployed now. I used to work at a supermarket as a sales helper. I enjoyed my previous job. I love playing soccer. I'm not really into music. I'm majoring in humanity at college.
Speaker 2
I am 26 and I work 12 hours a day. I am in debt. I love burgers. I like Black Sabbath. I like to watch soccer. I majored in humanities at college. I am a law clerk now. I would rather be a firm reviewer.
Speaker 1
Hello, I study at college.
Speaker 2
Wish I were back in college. I'm 26, working 12 hours a day.
Speaker 1
I am not employed now. I used to do part time job.
Speaker 2
What kind of work? I work like crazy, but still in debt. Not deeply, but still.
Speaker 1
I used to work at the local supermarket as sales helper.
Speaker 2
Did you get discounted food? I love mean, especially burgers!
Speaker 1
I did not get any special favors. But I used to enjoy the job.
Speaker 2
Like music? I'm a black sabbath junkie.
Speaker 1
I am not really into music. But I love playing soccer.
Speaker 2
I like to watch it. What's your major?
Speaker 1
Humanity is my major. It is very exciting.
Speaker 2
Humanities was my major, too! Now I'm a law clerk. Go figure.
Speaker 1
That's strange enough, but I believe you learn a lot as a law clerk.
Speaker 2
It can be interesting, but I'd rather be a film reviewer.

Speaker 1
I've been mostly studying but I let myself have a break by playing a bit of soccer with friends. 
Speaker 2
Yeah, I know how time demanding studying can be, but it's so important to take a break from it every once in a while. Recently, I've just been super busy working. 
Speaker 1
You should take a break too. I have a match next week. You can come watch if you like.
Speaker 2
I know, it's just I really need to work as much as I can as I need the money. Oh wow, that'd be great! I'd love to. What position do you play?
Speaker 1
I am a striker . i love the thrill of scoring goals. Hey. .have you applied for a job as a firm reviewer? Why stay at a job that doesn't pay enough
Speaker 2
Best position mate! I'd love to look into it to be honest however it's the comfortability for me at my current job. You get used to the same wage and rely on it way too much. Maybe I'll look into a little further, no harm in looking. Have you been searching for jobs recently?
Speaker 1
I am not looking right now. I just want to finish college . I am a bit worried i might not get a good job with a degree in Humanities.
Speaker 2
Yeah I understand, you see I started looking toward the end of college to try and secure myself a job in readiness for when I finish. You shouldn't worry at all, it may be a little tricky at first as lots of employers ask for work experience and degrees, however degrees really do help you. Humanities isn't too niche either.
Speaker 1
Thanks for the advice. I 'll try to get my old job back. Maybe we can meet up to discuss career prospects. Lunch is on me since you're broke. Just kidding.. 
Speaker 2
Haha, you joker! That would be great mate, might help me too as I don't mind working where I'm at but want to try to aim higher. More pay would be brilliant as 12 hours a day is so tiring 
Speaker 1
That's great. I'd like to borrow some of your college books if you don't mind. I can only pay in burgers not cash.lol
Speaker 2
Oh yeah of course, I definitely don't need them anymore. Wow, you certainly know the way to my heart. Burgers are my FAVOURITE!!

Speaker 1
I spoke with a guidance counselor about career paths like you recommended. I'm supposed to meet up with them tomorrow.
Speaker 2
That's great! Do you have any ideas of what sort of job you'd like to end up doing after graduation?
Speaker 1
I don't have anything in mind. I am just being present for now and focusing on my studies. Do you have any ideas for me that you think I might be good for?
Speaker 2
My neighbor has a humanities degree, and works as a human resources specialist. She seems quite happy with it. Other than that, I
Speaker 1
I would love to work in HR. It is a well respected field. Do you think you could connect me with your neighbor?
Speaker 2
I definitely could. I will text you her phone number later. Her name is Cynthia. Also, sorry about my last response, a spider landed on my keyboard and I slapped the 'enter' button on accident.
Speaker 1
I will reach out to her - thanks! SPIDER?!?!?! ACK!!!
Speaker 2
Yes, I fear that I'm going to have to fumigate the entire house now! I really hate spiders. Do you have arachnophobia too?
Speaker 1
I sure do. I have been terrified since childhood.
Speaker 2
Have you ever been bitten by one? I heard that some of them have venom that can destroy flesh!
Speaker 1
I haven't. Thank goodness! That is my biggest nightmare.
Speaker 2
I was bitten by one at work once. My boss put it on my chair as a prank and it bit me on my leg when I sat on it. I don't think she pays me enough to deal with that... I think I need to ask for a raise.

Speaker 1
My guidance meeting went well! Still not sure what I want to do, but humanities or teaching both sound promising.
Speaker 2
Would you switch your major from humanities to education, or use humanities to go into teaching?
Speaker 1
Because I'm not fully committed yet, I think I will stay in Humanities for now. That way I have the option to move into education, but I can still explore other areas. Did you enjoy all the later Humanities classes you took?
Speaker 2
I really enjoyed them, and that was the reason I took them. I was very lucky to find a job, especially one I like. It's very interesting clerking for a law firm. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't pay as much as you might think it would.
Speaker 1
Are there any opportunities in clerking to work your way up within the firm? Is it something that you could see yourself doing for a long time?
Speaker 2
There aren't any opportunities for advancement other than senior cleric -- which is more project management and people management responsbilities. I'd rather do the actual clerk role; I like researching, writing briefs, etc. I could do this permanently if it paid better! Let's talk about you. Are you still on that soccer team?
Speaker 1
Well at least you like the work for now! I am still on the soccer team. We have a tournament coming up next week that I'm really excited for. I think we might have a chance to win it!
Speaker 2
Striker, right? How're you scoring these days?
Speaker 1
Right! It definitely feels like I'm on a hot streak. Hopefully it keeps up through the tournament. One of our other players is injured, though. Did you ever play sports?
Speaker 2
I played intramural soccer in college. Nowadays I mainly just watch it. I like Manchester United, they're my favorite team. Do you like a particular US or FIFA team?
Speaker 1
I love Arsenal, even though they aren't doing so well lately. I can't wait for the season to start up again. I do enjoy watching the international teams in the meantime. Having the tournaments on is so fun!
Speaker 2
I was watching Italy vs Wales yesterday. ITA was up by 1 but then we went to brunch and I missed the last part of the game.

Speaker 1
What position did you play, when you played soccer in college?
Speaker 2
I ended up being the goalkeeper for most games, not the most exciting position. 
Speaker 1
Exciting when it really counts though! Do you miss it?
Speaker 2
I do a bit, but I can relive those times by watching games on TV these days. 
Speaker 1
That is a good point. I have been thinking that I want to be a voice on one of those soccer video games for a living.
Speaker 2
That would be a dream job! Maybe I should get back into playing for real, It's good exercise. Could I join one of your games sometime?
Speaker 1
Probably not an actual game, but I can reserve some time on the field. Maybe I can get some other friends to join so we can really play.
Speaker 2
That sounds good, I haven't played in a while so something more casual would probably be best to start with.
Speaker 1
Sounds great! Now the tough question: when do you have time?
Speaker 2
It would have to be sometime when I'm off work, maybe on the weekend. 
Speaker 1
OK. Just let me know when you want to plan it and I will put in the reservation request. Do you need to borrow cleats or anything? I am a size 11.5.
Speaker 2
No, I still have my old ones from a long time ago. So tell me, have your plans for life gotten any clearer?
