学生

Student: Sensei, I'd like to talk about what to do after graduating.

先生

Teacher: You were torn between graduate school and getting a job, weren't you.

学生

Student: Yes. The research is interesting, but it would mean two more years of being a burden on my parents.

先生

Teacher: There are scholarships, you know. Some don't have to be repaid, and depending on your marks you could get one.

学生

Student: I didn't know that. But there's no guarantee of a job in two years' time, is there.

先生

Teacher: There's certainly no guarantee. That said, this field is short of people, so with a master's the range of jobs you can choose from would widen.

学生

Student: It's a hard choice.

先生

Teacher: There's no rush. The application deadline is November, so deciding by then is in time.
