Dialogue
- Gary: Hi Grant.
- I’m trying to figure out whether I want to go back to school or not.
- Grant: Wow! That’s a big decision.
- Gary: I know.
- If I chose to do it, one of the biggest advantages would be that I’d have better chances for promotion.
- Grant: Yes, that’s true.
- It’s always good to think about professional development.
- If you had an MBA degree, it would be an obvious benefit for your career.
- Gary: Yeah, know, but on the other hand, I would need to put my career on hold if I chose to study, and that’s a huge drawback for me.
- Grant: Hmm, yeah that’s true.
- Do you think it would be worth it?
- Gary: Honestly, I’m not sure.
- Apart from the opportunity for a promotion, another reason would be that it’d allow me to fulfill one of my dreams.
- I’ve always wanted to continue my education.
- Grant: Well, that sounds like the best reason to me.
- Personally, I think you should go ahead!
- Gary: But I would need to spend all my savings if I wanted to get an MBA
- It would be quite tough for my wife and son.
- Grant: You’re right.
- That would be another drawback.
- Would you be able to apply for a loan from the bank?
- Gary: Oh, I’ve never thought about that.
- Grant: Well, why don’t you find out more about that.
- Gary: I will!
- That’s a great idea.
- Thanks, Grant.
