You overhear a young man talking about his first job. How did he feel in his first job?

Man: I didn’t want to go to university, so when I finished school, I went and got a job. My parents said if I was in full-time education, they’d give me an allowance, but if not, I’d have to work. So, I got a job in a big store in the menswear department ... Actually, I think I had to go out and find out what I could do because in school I wasn’t particularly brilliant, so, when it came to doing work, I think I had to prove a lot of people wrong. So I really felt like doing it ... even though it was just selling socks in Hayrides.

Woman:   I tell you, we were dead lucky! He could have done some serious damage if we hadn’t reacted so quickly.
Man:  What did he do --just shoot straight out without looking?
Woman:  Yeah. Clare yelled something at me and I just slammed on the brakes.
Man:   Did he stop?
Woman:  You’re joking! Just blasted his horn at us and carried on.
Man:  And there was nobody behind you?
Woman:   No, fortunately, otherwise who knows what might have happened.
Man:   You were lucky. That road’s always busy.
