I wish I was moving to a beach! I'm going to college next year instead.
Speaker 1
Nice I was in college in alaska, dropped out after 3rd year though.
Speaker 2
What did you study? I'm studying neuroscience.
Speaker 1
Girls mostly! Since my parents are from the north they sent me there.
Speaker 2
Makes sense. What do you do now? I'm working in a fast food restaurant.
Speaker 1
At the moment, I'm jobless and carefree.

Speaker 1
I found a surf board to bring to the beach. 
Speaker 2
Good for you!! I studying so hard I have no time to go to the beach. 
Speaker 1
Neuroscience is a tough nut to crack! Have you done Organic Chemistry yet?
Speaker 2
Yes .In my 4th semester. I wish I could have tiem to date hot girls in college like you did.I bet you missed those days, right?
Speaker 1
My uncle's an MD. Right before I went to study pre-med in Alaska, he suggested I get a leg up on Organic Chemistry *before* I got to school. So, in the summer months between my senior year in high school and my freshman year in college, I read a text book and found a tutor....
Speaker 2
C'om now!! I blonde guy with blue eyes like you in college?? I bet the organic chemistry you studied was between you and the chicks.
Speaker 1
Heh, that's the problem: I didn't finish school *because* I was socializing hard. I met my wife there. Fortunately for both of us, she has a good job....
Speaker 2
Just to make sure you don't end up working in a fast food place like I do.Try to get a decent job!!!
Speaker 1
Oh, I will. Thanks! I have a line on a job as a surfing instructor! $30/hour!
Speaker 2
That is sweet!!! Good money!! Even better since you are moving near the beach!! I bet you are going to do great
Speaker 1
If I can manage 5 hours a day, I'll be doing very well indeed! Since the weather is usually good here in Southern California, it's doable.
Speaker 2
If I ever became a neurosurgeon. I will try to get a job in Southern California.Then you can teach me how to surf.

I have a smart car. I'm moving near a beach. I want to retire at the beach. I surf at the beach. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I went to college in Alaska. I did not finish college. I was socializing. I met my wife at school. My wife has a good job. I liked girls in college. I am unemployed. I am interested in a surfing instructor job. I will do great if I work 5 hours a day. My uncle is an MD. I studied organic chemistry before college.
Speaker 2
I am going to college next year. I'm studying neuroscience. I took organic chemistry in my 4th semester. I work in a fast food restaurant. I am trying to save money. I want lots of ice cream. If I become a neurosurgeon I will try to work in Southern California.
Speaker 1
I found out more about the surfing instructor job hours.
Speaker 2
Do they work well for you?
Speaker 1
Mostly. I think I will go for it anyway. It will be good practice for job applications. What do you think you will do when you finish college?
Speaker 2
May as well give it go then, especially as you enjoy surfing so much. I like the idea of being a leading research scientist, developing new medicines.  
Speaker 1
Oh yes, that sounds fascinating. I wish I had stuck with chemistry myself.
Speaker 2
It is amazing what you can do with chemistry. Sometimes it scares me how much we can learn about the world around us.
Speaker 1
I know what you mean. I wonder whether we will ever find the answers to the question of life.
Speaker 2
That's exactly what I want to try and find myself. I think it will be a question that never gets answered though. 
Speaker 1
It's probably for the best. What would humans be like if there was no more to learn?
Speaker 2
We would probably end up ruining the universe. But you do not have to worry about any of that when you retire to the beach.
Speaker 1
Surfing is a great way to take your mind off things, especially the more worrying issues the world faces today.
Speaker 2
That must be awesome. I wish I could surf and forget about all the problems in the world.

I would love to use science to answer all the questions about life but do not think they will all be answered. I can not surf. I wish I knew how to surf.
Speaker 1
With some encouragement from my wife and applied for the surf instructor job! Now I just have to nervously wait for a response. 
Speaker 2
That's exciting, I wish you the best luck. That's way cooler than my gig! Flipping burgers gets to you after awhile. But there's ice cream!
Speaker 1
Yes, but you're in school, studying to become a neurosurgeon. At least you have a good paying job on the horizon. 
Speaker 2
Yes! I'm excited for that but right now it feels so far away. I'd like to learn how to surf, maybe you could teach me too?
Speaker 1
Of course I'll teach you. Free of charge, for sure. I just love to surf and to teach, so hopefully this job will work out. And life moves pretty fast, so you'll be done with school before you know it!
Speaker 2
Sounds good, thanks! Yeah I sure hope so, the late nights are getting tough. Hopefully it will get easier after I graduate. It sound like a perfect fit for you then!
Speaker 1
Well, if you get a job in Southern California, then we can surf all the time! Scripps is a good research place, I've heard. And there are a ton in Los Angeles, UCLA, USC, St. Jude, just a ton. Will you need to go on to grad school? 
Speaker 2
Yeah, I'm looking forward to moving there if I can. Surfing will be great! I'm glad there's so many. I think that I will, but I'm not sure yet. What did your uncle do?
Speaker 1
My uncle had to go to medical school after his 4 year college. He went to Boston College for his undergrad, then on to Duke Medical School. He then went to St. Louis for his residency and then was able to open his private practice. It was a lot of school, but worth it for him. I don't think I could do it, but I'm sure you can.
Speaker 2
A lot of school is right, most of that is ahead of me still. It's reassuring that he thinks it was worth it! I appreciate that, I'm sure I will envy you many times!
Speaker 1
Yeah, but think about the money! And of course all of the good you will do. You'll change the world! Or at least help someone live longer and/or better. Me? I'll just be teaching surfing! Ha!
Speaker 2
I hope I will, I have to keep reminding myself of that. Don't be hard on yourself, you'll bring many people joy with your passion. I'm excited for you to teach me, it will take my mind off of things.

I am going to college next year. I'm studying neuroscience. I took organic chemistry in my 4th semester. I work in a fast food restaurant. I flip burgers for a living.  The restaurant I work at has ice cream. I am trying to save money. I want lots of ice cream. If I become a neurosurgeon I will try to work in Southern California. I want to be a research scientist. I would love to work on developing new medicines. I love learning about chemistry. I would love to use science to answer all the questions about life but do not think they will all be answered. I can not surf. I wish I knew how to surf. I'm studying to be a neurosurgeon. I stay up studying late into the night sometimes. I will eventually go to grad school.
Speaker 1
I have an interview lined up for the surf instructor job I told you about.
Speaker 2
Awesome! Are you excited for it? The job seem like a good fit?
Speaker 1
This job matches the passion I have for surfing so I am very excited. I have been practicing for the interview, too!
Speaker 2
Are you practicing with yourself in the mirror or with friends? I think both can be really helpful.
Speaker 1
I've been practicing with my wife, it has been helpful. How has work been going for you?
Speaker 2
Oh, I'm tired. I feel like I'm learning a lot but it's a lot to learn at school which makes it harder to really focus on flipping burgers.
Speaker 1
I bet! Your classes have to be tough, and at some point you will have to quit to focus on your classes and residency, right?
Speaker 2
Not til grad school--or maybe til I'm spending a lot of time applying to grad schools. I really need the money, and while it takes up time, its easy
Speaker 1
I see, have you thought about which grad schools you might want to apply to?
Speaker 2
I'm not sure. I've been talking to professors about the best places and am just making a list. :) I think I'd like to move someplace fun like the West coast. Maybe I can even go to grad school in CA and then start working there.
Speaker 1
California is great! And if you move here, maybe I could teach you how to surf!
Speaker 2
That would be awesome. I've never been on the ocean. Is it scary?
