Well, here’s hoping I too get lucky and stumble into the right people at the right time. Networking isn’t my strongest suit, so I’ll have to work on that.

Tell me about some of your experiences in China. How long have you been there? Do you prefer it over Canada?

Oh teaching😬. You guys really decided to tap into the four horsemen of low paying jobs huh. Here’s hoping things get better for you guys.

Psychology is fun. It’s the right amount of challenge and interest to keep my unfocused brain hooked. If i did go to grad school i would go into cognitive psychology and potentially get a PhD to do research. The brain is just so fascinating, and being able to immediately apply what you learn in class is what makes it even better.

If I however decide that i don’t want to go to grad school, I’d most likely go into market research - all things being equal. It’s the most sensible application of my love for research and problem solving. I’d probably have to get some certifications, but i think it’s worth it, and pay is not too terrible after I get a few years of experience. I guess i just have to determine what i want in life. Do i want to be confined to the four walls of an institution for decades or work a normal job.

Why is it that you were never able to stick to one job? Also, what programme (if you went at all) did you go to university for?

What the hell? How have you retired from academia at such an early age?

That was so off🤦. Thanks for playing

Oh that’s definitely interesting, and i definitely see how the creativity can come in. Do you report for a newspaper or news article?

Wow, what a coincidence! I was actually thinking of going into that field. I’m currently a psychology major, but contemplating whether or not to go to grad school. I decided that if I don’t go to grad school, I’ll go into marketing. Specifically market research.

Can you tell me a bit more about how you got into it, and whether i require some additional certifications?

(Sorry to get off-topic, i just had to seize the opportunity)

Hmm. You didn’t give me a whole lot of rope to grab onto, so this is mostly a shot in the dark, but I’m gonna guess that you’re in your 40s. Say 45

Forgive me for prying, but you said you didn’t trust other school friends. Is there a reason for that? Of course, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to

FIRST SPOT ON GUESS!!! LET’S FUCKING GOOOO!!!

Okay, what about on weekdays, when you have to go to work? What do you do?

I’m happy it’s going well for you. How about interpersonal relationships? What’s your relationship like with family, friends and/or partners?

Disability support is wonderful. It’s honourable of you to do that even with the relatively low wages that come along with it - I mean i don’t know about Australia, but salaries aren’t awfully high in a lot of countries. How do you manage?

I’m still a student; I’m studying psychology. I’m still thinking about whether i want to go to grad school or pivot into something else.

Ok, I’m gonna make a guess now. I think you’re 36

Ah i see. So what are some of the next steps for you? Where do you want to take your life to next? Or are you comfortable still working as a swimming instructor for the foreseeable future?

Ok, that’s understandable. Honestly, i think i can make a guess right now as a lot of the information you gave me is quite specific to an age group. Maybe between 47 and 57. If i had to guess, I’d say 52

Uh okay

Hey there, what’s a typical day look like for you?

I’ve never gotten the chance to play those kinds of RPGs. I guess I don’t hang out with people who would be into that sort of thing.

Damn, I’ve never interacted with someone from Wuhan before. I have so many questions, but i think I’ll keep them to myself.

What do you do for work?

Oh, what trade are you going for?

What do you do for work if you don’t mind me asking?
