A: What major will you choose in university?
B: I’m not really sure yet. My goal is to work at a large company, so I guess Business administration.
A: Are you sure that's a good choice? Most of the people I know who are working at large companies majored in something else. And a lot of companies want employees with different education backgrounds, as they have different skills and points of view.
B: So, what would you suggest?
A: Have you thought about history? You love that subject.
B: That's a good choice, but I still think I should study something more useful for my future career. What about you? What major will you choose?
A: I plan to study nutrition and child health after I go to medical school.
B: So, you want to be a doctor?
A: Yes, if possible, I'd really like to become a pediatrician.
B: Wow! I think that might be quite difficult for you. Your grades in science have been weak so far.
A: That might be true, but it is my dream. I'll study harder when it comes to science from now on.
B: What if it doesn’t work out?
A: Well, I'll just have to cross that bridge when I come to it.
