和老外聊天地道口语职业发展道路规划

T: You'll soon graduate from your university. Do you have any plans for the future?
J: I'm planning to go to graduate school, but I also want to find a job. Otherwise, I'll have nowhere to go if I fail the entrance exam.
T: Do you have a clear career path to follow?
J: career path? I'm not sure.
T: what kind of job do you want after graduation?
J: I want to become a professor, a lawyer, an editor, a civil servant...
T: wait! You can't do so many things at the same time. What exactly do you want to do?
J: I don't know. Do you have any advice for me?
T: yeah,you should first decide what kind of career you really want, plan your career path, and then try your best to achieve your goal.
J: I think perhaps I need to buy a few years while I figure out about my career.
T: no, you can't waste your time wandering around. If you want a job that requires a higher degree or diploma, you should focus on your graduate school extrance exam;if you want a job that needs working experience, you should start job hunting and consider further studies at a later time.
J: thank you so much for your advice. I'll think it over.
