0:19 What do you plan to do after school?
0:21 Gonna do an architecture course. What about you?
0:24 The hell if I knew. I am so confused.
0:27 You’d better make up your mind soon and apply if you want a good college.
0:32 I know. Hey, why don’t you suggest something?
0:35 Go for something you like. What about an arts course? You always wanted to be a singer.
0:41 Maybe you’re right. I’ll think about it.
0:49 Miss Taylor, could I have a moment of your time?
0:51 Sure Alfred. Tell me.
0:54 I’m thinking of going for a science degree. Do you think that’s a good idea?
0:57 Let me see. You’ve always had good grades in science, Alf. What do you want to do?
1:03 Actually I want to teach in a college.
1:05 Wow! That will require a lot of hard work, but I think you can crack it. You’re smart.
1:12 Okay, thank you, Miss Taylor.
1:20 Hey Alf. You know what? I got accepted in Austin.
1:23 Really? Congrats man!
1:25 There’s a problem though. The course they’re giving me is not what I wanted.
1:29 So what’re you gonna do?
1:30 I think I’ll get that course in Atlantic. Gotta wait for some days.
1:34 I hear Austin is more popular, isn’t it?
1:36 Yeah, but it’ll be my second choice if I get into Atlantic.
1:39 Okay, Well good luck man! I gotta go now.

1:49 So Alfred. School’s almost over. Have you decided what you wanna do in college?
1:54 Dad, I’m thinking about going for a degree in sales.
1:58 Sales, eh? There’s never been a salesman in our family.
2:01 I don’t think I’ll be a salesman. I am going to do an MBA and then get into a big company.
2:08 Why not take up something nice, like engineering?
2:11 I don’t think I’m cut out to be an engineer, dad.
2:14 Alright, son. It’s important to do something that you like.

2:38 I’m thinking of going for a science degree. What do you think?
2:43 I got accepted in Austin.
2:48 I think I’ll get that course in Atlantic.
