I see myself finishing university first. Then I'm going to get a good job, settle down and have a family. Can't wait!

Why do people tie themselves down? Why not take some time out? Go travelling white you're young!

That's what I think! I don’t want a good job. I want to have fun. I'll take up a sport like karate or skydiving and enjoy myself in two years, I hope that I'l be doing my black belt, and I'll be happy.

Me, too! I'm going to travel around Australia and teach myself to surf.
Marcus
Where are you going to earn money to get to Australia?
Earlybird
I'm going to start up my own business, make a million dollars in two years, and then I'll retire young and travel the world. Why waste time working all your life?
Marcus
I think it’s important to look after yourself — but what about others? I'd like to get involved with a charity and spend some time abroad helping people.

I totally agree. Good luck with that, Marcus!
