Conversation between brother and sister
Sister: I am noticing you watching TV throughout the day and doing nothing.
Brother: Yes, I am free to watch TV and do anything I wish as my vacations have just started!
Sister: Yes, I know that your vacations have started, so why don’t you utilize this time and do something that will help you in the future?
Brother: But aren’t vacations just to relax and do nothing!
Sister: No, I made the most out of my vacations and I wish you to do the same.
Brother: I did not see you do anything during your vacations. All I remember was you lounging on the sofa with your phone!
Sister: Oh, I wasn’t lounging on the sofa, I was in the middle of completing a course and you must opt for a short course too.
Brother: What kind of a course?
Sister: I mean there are so many courses. Choose a course that is related to your studies and that will be an add-on for you. It will also add up to your resume.
Brother: Do I have a choice of doing a part-time internship?
Sister: Of course, you have that choice.
Brother: I can apply online for a part-time internship and can gain experience that will help me once I get out in the real world of corporate!
Sister: That is true. I think getting work experience is more important than dragging yourself through a degree and throwing lots of money into it.
Brother: Are you suggesting…
Sister: No, not at all! Don’t even think of it!
Brother: Hahaha…
Sister: Degrees are important too. And more important than that is choosing the right field.
Brother: But you said just now that work experience is more important.
Sister: Yes it is important, but a degree in a particular field with an addition of work experience works as a cherry on the cake!
Brother: So in short, it will make my job easier? And I will get to learn more?
Sister: Yes, you will get to learn more and you will understand how to manage your studies and internship at once!
Brother: Will it not be tough?
Sister: Exactly! It will be tough, but like I said just now that you will learn how to manage your routine!
Brother: Okay, I will list out some start-ups to work with and I’ll let you know in the evening!
Sister: Good! Now don’t go and watch TV again!
Brother: Yeah Yeah, I am not like you!
Sister: Oh, just go away!
