Interview script

Intro to the topic

As stated previously in my email to you, I will be writing an essay on Life after
College. The essay will mainly be on how a fresh college graduate should plan his
or her life after graduation, and this would encompass all of the aspects of living life
as an adult; employment, leading an independent life, and building a family. Some
of the questions may sound a bit personal to you, but I hope you would not mind
providing your input on this matter. This interview will be recorded and a copy of the
recording will be sent to my instructor, Ms. Goodrich as proof that I have done this
interview.
Questions:
1. I believe that you, as a professor, must have gone through postgraduate
studies. My first question will pertain to the issue of postgraduate education.
As someone who has experienced both undergraduate and postgraduate
education, will it be worthwhile to invest time and money towards a masters
or doctorates degree, as most people advise that it would be wiser to work
first and gain experience before planning for higher-level studies. And, if one
were to pursue postgraduate studies right after graduation, how would it help
improve his or her chances of landing a job.
2. Moving on to the second question, when looking for a job, should one start
small, gain experience first and then apply for jobs with bigger pay, or should
he or she look for big companies with big pay. In essence, which is more
important, experience or position?
3. Third, after procuring a stable job with satisfying pay, should one start an
independent life and live on his or her own? Expanding more on this question,
should one continue living with his or her parents, and wait until they can
afford to buy a house, or just start living on their own, renting out a house?
4. Last question, and this would sound a bit personal to you, how soon should
one start a family, and how should he or she plan her budget to satisfy the
needs of managing a family and a household?
