Episode 30: Career decisions

Tim:	Hi Alice, what are you reading?
Alice:	Oh. It’s about maternity and baby care. They’ve asked me to change wards.
Tim:	But you love working in the emergency wards.
Alice:	Yes, well.I want to work with Dr. Laver.
Tim:	Dr. Laver?
Alice:	He specializes in looking after children. He’s a great doctor, really friendly with the patients.
Tim:	I see. And he’s not bad looking, I suppose?
Alice:	Don’t be ridiculous! I’m thinking about my career.
Tim:	But you want your own children. Don’t you think it’d be horrible looking after other people’s kids?
Alice:	Yeah, that’s the problem. So I haven’t decided whether to take the job or not.
