I've been asked to talk about the subject of work. I must admit it's not a subject I feel most comfortable with as I am currently unemployed. And, to
be honest, I really don't understand why. I've always been a good student. I got mostly B's and A's through school and secondary school. I then went to Uni where I studied a degree in Law. And, as if that weren't enough, I even have a Master of European Law.
- (I go to a past situation to use complex grammar)
BACK IN MY PARENTS' TIME, not many people were able to afford higher education, and those who were, knew for a fact that they were going to have an excellent job. So, when I said I wanted to go to Uni, my parents couldn't be happier.
- I thought all my efforts would pay off eventually. Who would have thought that they would amount to nothing? Certainly not my parents. So I guess, I feel disappointed and angry. I would have loved to have a challenging job where I could make a difference in people's lives while earning a decent salary. But things haven't turned out quite as I expected, I guess. I probably shouldn't have put so much effort into getting good marks.
-(I move now to a future situation to wrap up my monologue) :
Now, I'm left with little choice. I guess I could move abroad, But I don't know if I'd feel comfortable living in another country, speaking a different language. I've always had this dream of setting up an NGO and offer my legal advice for free to those who need it the most. It may sound naïve but I think I'd be really happy doing that kind of job. I'd be my own boss and I'd be able to make a difference.
