Read and listen to the conversation between two cousins.
Have they thought about their future jobs? What are they going to do?
Ian: So, when will you start training as a mechanic?
Luca: Well, actually, I’m going to get a degree in automotive engineering instead.
Ian: Why do you need to get a degree? I thought you were going to work in your dad’s garage.
Luca: I am. But Dad says I have to get a degree first. Anyway, what about you?
Ian: I’m going to create my own program of study. I want to take courses in business, education, and maybe biology.
Luca: Wow, that’s an interesting mix! But don’t you have to choose a major?
Ian: No. It’s like I’m creating my own major. Here, this is from the college website:
“Applicants must take 120 credits of any subject to get a degree.”
Luca: Interesting. So, what kind of job do you want to get after that?
Ian: For now, I’m going to take classes I like and see how it goes. I don’t have to choose a job yet.
Luca: True. Well, with a degree like that, I guess you’ll be ready for anything!
