"Students on Campus"[img]2012q1/ct_etoefm_etoeflistz_1229_20121[/img] [br] Why

Narrator: Listen to part of a conversation on campus between two students.
Man: I wish I were as sure about my future as you seem to be. I... I really don,t know what  Q2
    Iwant to do after I graduate. Woman:Well, have you talked with a counselor over at the Office of Career Development?
Man: No...I talked to my academic advisor, though.
Woman: That’s good, but it’s really better to see someone who specializes in helping people  Q1
    make career decisions. You see, an academic advisor is there to help you work out
    your academic program. You know, figure out what your major is going to be and which
    courses to take and all that. But a career counselor has a lot of experience and
    resources to help you decide what you want to do in the work world.
Man: Did you see a career counselor?
Woman: I sure did. Last semester. I was... well, I didn’t even know what I would be good at, for
    a career, I mean. So I made an appointment at the Office of Career Development, and
    I talked with a counselor.
Man: Do you remember who it was?
Woman: Sure. It was Ruth Jackson.
Man: Oh, but since I’m interested in careers for math majors, probably I should see someone
    else.
Woman: Not really. Any of the counselors can help you. Look, first I took some aptitude tests and
    something called a... uh... I think it was called a career inventory. Anyway, I took
    several tests, and then the counselor gave me some ideas about different careers. I
    even went to some group sessions with some other students for a few weeks. Mrs.
    Jackson was the group leader, so, um, that’s how I met her, and then I just sort of
    naturally started making my appointments with her when I needed some advice.
Man: It sounds like it took a lot of time. I’m so busy already.
Woman: Well, it did take time. Probably three hours for the tests, and I think I went to maybe four
    group sessions, and then I saw Ruth a couple of times. I guess about nine or ten hours
    probably. But itwas worth it.   Q3
Man: So, is that why you decided to go into library science? Because of the tests and
    everything?
Woman: In part. But, mostly it was because of the internship. You see, I also got my internship
    through the Office of Career Development. And when I was working as an intern in the
    public library, it all sort of came together for me. I really liked what I was doing, and I  Q4
    realized that I didn’t want the internship to end.
Man: And you get paid for working there in the library too, don’t you?
Woman: I get paid, and I get credit toward my degree. But even better, I have a job offer from the
    library where I’m doing my internship.
Man: Wow! Are you going to take it?
Woman: I think so. I have to let them know next week. If I do take the job, I’ll have to go to
    graduate school to get a degree in library science, but I can do that part-time while I’m
    working, and I had thought about graduate school anyway. So, I’m leaning toward
    taking the job.
Man: That’s great, Anne. I’m glad for you. So, uh, I guess I’d better make an appointment  Q5
    with Ruth Jackson. Maybe she can find me an internship.
Woman: Maybe.
