Grad Plans

George and Crystal discuss jobs and life after college.

 

George: Hey, hey, hey!

Crystal: Hey, hey, hey! How's it going?

George: Bad!

Crystal: Why? What's up?

George: I'm a little low on cash these days?

Crystal: Really? What about getting a new job?

George: Well, Where? What's open?

Crystal: Well, I don't know. You're graduating soon, right?

George: Well, there's still a good half-year before that?

Crystal: Yeah, well, yeah, those half-years, you should spend it wisely. This is the best chance to get a job.

George: What do you mean?

Crystal: Well, I don't know, like, I think this is your last chance to get a job before you graduate. Or what do you plan on after graduating? Just hanging around? Playing games?

George: I don't know. I have no idea what to do after graduation. Do you have any plans?

Crystal: Well, for me ... well, since the economy is going bad, like there is no opening at the moment, but I was thinking if I could be able to like find an internship in a different country or maybe I could keep doing my part-time job at the moment just until things start getting better. Well, I guess you still have nine months left.

George: Yeah. It's a little depressing though thinking about graduation. Being thrown out into the real world.

Crystal: All my friends who graduated, they're already regretting. They want to go back to school.

George: Oh, boy!

Crystal: Speaking of which, how about we go to grad school?

George: No!

Crystal: Why not?

George: Grad School!

Crystal: Why not?

George: I don't know if I could deal with another four years of school.

Crystal: It's not four years. It's only two years, and plus, like, I mean, if you're gonna regret so much like getting a job, like, and plus the economy is really bad for a job right now, I think it's best to lay low and just, you know maybe study a little bit more till the economy gets better and then get a job then.

George: Well, if I could get some sort of full scholarship, perhaps I would be more inclined to do it, but ...

Crystal: Yeah, yeah. It's not bad.

George: I don't think I could get a scholarship with my horrible G.P.A.?

Crystal: Same here!

George: Hmm! Grad school!
