[[I wanted to discuss my career options]]
[[I just wanted to chat]]''Teacher:''
Your career?
''Student:''
[[Yes->My career]]
[[No->I just wanted to chat]] ''Teacher: ''
Okay, what did you want to chat about?
''Student:''
[[Dogs]]
[[Cats]]
[[My career]]
''Teacher: ''
You're in luck! I love dogs.
I have two dogs, [[Max]] and [[Obi]]. ''Teacher:
''
Sorry, I [[don't know much]] about cats.
''Teacher: ''
Max is my 11-year old Border Collie cross Australian Shepherd.
''Student:''
[[Cool!]]
What about [[Obi]]?''Teacher:''
Obi is my 2-year old Chihuahua mix.
''Student:''
[[Cool!]]
What about [[Max]]?''Student:''
I like numbers, but I don't know whether to pursue a career in finance or accounting. I don't really understand what the [[difference]] is.
I'm also curious about:
[[accounting-related jobs]]
[[finance-related jobs]] ''Teacher:''
Your career?
What is on your [[mind]]? ''Teacher:''
Did you want to talk about something [[else]]?
''Student:''
[[Cats]]
[[Career->My career]]
[[That's all for now]]''Teacher: ''
But if you're interested in talking about [[dogs->Dogs]]...''Teacher:''
Bye!!!''Teacher:
''
Well one difference is one is more [[forwards looking]] and one is more [[backwards looking]]. Which suits you more?
''Student:''
[[I'm not sure]]''Teacher: ''
[[Accounting]] is more backwards looking. It focuses on recording, reporting, and analyzing financial transactions.
''Student:''
That doesn't sound like something I would enjoy...maybe [[Finance->forwards looking]] is a better fit. ''Teacher: ''
[[Finance]] is more forwards looking. It can involve managing assets, liabilities, investments, and planning for the future success of a business.
