Well, Paul, last time we met you said you were not sure about what you would like to do after your exams.0:16
That's true.0:24
I'm really into two minds about it.0:24
You promised to think about it again and ask for your parents advice, right?0:27
I did.0:33
My mum would like me to go on with my education.0:34
She says that a general secondary education is the necessary start for every teenager.0:37
Is your father of the same opinion?0:43
He is not so sure.0:46
But he definitely would like me to be an engineer or a computer programmer.0:48
My dad is an engineer himself.0:53
Well, these are very popular occupations.0:55
Especially a computer programmer.0:59
I know.1:01
But I'm not at all certain that I would like to work with any kind of machinery in the future.1:02
So you don't want to follow your father's footsteps, do you?1:08
Actually not.1:12
I don't like this idea at all.1:13
And what would you like to do?1:15
I think I'd like to work with people.1:17
Doing what?1:20
I'm thinking about working in a bank.1:21
Why a bank?1:24
It means meeting people.1:25
And besides, banks pay you well.1:27
That's true.1:29
But you'll need a university education if you want a career in banking.1:31
Yes, I understand.1:35
And that leads us to your decision where to prepare for your state exams.1:37
But I'm not quite certain about going to university.1:43
You aren't, are you?1:46
How good are you at maths?1:48
I've been thinking about it.1:51
I can't say my results are very good, but they aren't so bad either.1:53
Why not take a course of economics?1:57
It's not a bad idea.2:00
I think it may suit you, but it means a lot of hard work during your last years at school.2:02
Yes, I understand.2:09
Well, I think I'm ready for it.2:10
