SPEAKER_03: Unit 6. Education. The Q Classroom. Is one road to success better than another?
Marcus,
what do you think? Is there a best road to success?
SPEAKER_00: I think that in most cases, it's better to take a non-traditional road. If you have a different
kind of experience than other people in your career, then you'll have a different perspective. You might
know things other people don't know.
SPEAKER_03: Good point. What do you think Sophie? Is one road to success better than another?
SPEAKER_04: I guess I'd say no, that there are many different ways of reaching your goals. The best way
for one person might not be the best for someone else. Maybe a non-traditional road works for Marcus,
but a more traditional one works for someone else.
SPEAKER_03: What do you think, Phae Leaks? Marcus feels it's best to find your own unique path, and
Sophie feels that while that might work for some people, it won't work for everyone. What do you think?
SPEAKER_01: I agree with Sophie in the sense that everyone is different and everyone needs to find
their own way. But one argument for a more traditional path to success, say studying hard, getting a
degree, getting an entry-level job, and working your way up, is that you gain a lot of work experience
along the way. If you take a less traditional path, you might miss out on that valuable work experience.
SPEAKER_03: Okay. How about you, Yuna? Would you say that one road to success is better than
another?
SPEAKER_02: No. I agree that there are advantages and disadvantages to every choice.
