I was at the store the other day. I saw a former co - worker, Michael, across the room. He used to work at my company until he quit a few months ago to start a new job as a public relations officer at Missouri University. It's a job he's been working toward for years. He wasn't happy working for a corporation and wanted to get into either a non - profit organization or a university. I wanted to see how he was doing. The truth was, I was thinking of making a move myself.
Becky: Hey, Michael. Remember me? I'm Becky. We used to work at Lekmans together.
Michael: Oh, sure. How are you? Long time, no see. How are things at Lekmans?
Becky: It's about the same. I've been thinking of making a change myself. Do you mind if I ask you a few things about your job at the university?
Michael: No, not at all. Go ahead.
Becky: Well, I was wondering what the salaries are like. I mean, are they much lower than the corporate world?
Michael: Well, I can't speak for all universities, but my salary is a definitely lower than at Lekmans. I just don't think the salaries are comparable when you leave a major corporation.
Becky: Yeah, that's what I thought, but I've heard that the perks are better. I was wondering if that was really true.
Michael: I'd have to say yes and no on that. I don't get a big end - of - the - year bonus like I did at Lekmans but I get to take classes for free if I want to. I've always wanted to get a graduate degree so I'm taking classes now to do that.
Becky: Oh, that's great. It sounds like you're really happy with your move.
Michael: Yeah, I guess I am. Working at a university really suits me.

前几天我在商店里。我看到房间那头有个前同事，迈克尔。他以前在我们公司工作，几个月前辞职去了密苏里大学担任公关专员，开启了新工作。这是他多年来一直努力想得到的工作。他在企业工作得不开心，想进入非营利组织或者大学工作。我想看看他过得怎么样。说实话，我自己也在考虑换工作。
贝基：嘿，迈克尔。还记得我吗？我是贝基。我们以前在莱克曼斯公司一起工作过。
迈克尔：哦，当然记得。你好吗？好久不见。莱克曼斯公司的情况怎么样？
贝基：还是老样子。我自己也一直在考虑做出改变。你介意我问你一些关于你在大学工作的事情吗？
迈克尔：一点也不介意。问吧。
贝基：嗯，我想知道大学的薪资情况如何。我的意思是，薪资比企业界低很多吗？
迈克尔：嗯，我不能代表所有大学来说，但我的薪资肯定比在莱克曼斯公司时低。我只是觉得，当你离开大型企业后，薪资没有可比性。
贝基： 是啊，我也这么想，但我听说大学的福利更好。我想知道这是不是真的。
迈克尔：在这方面，我得说有好有坏。我不像在莱克曼斯公司时那样能拿到丰厚的年终奖金，但如果我想的话，可以免费上课。我一直想拿到研究生学位，所以现在正在上课来实现这个目标。
贝基：哦，那太棒了。听起来你对这次换工作很满意。
迈克尔： 是啊，我想我是满意的。在大学工作真的很适合我。
