Listen to a conversation between two students.

Woman: Hey Jim, know what you are doing yet this summer?

Man: Yeah, I get this chemistry internship lined up. I’m gonna be helping my lab professor with a research experiment.

Woman: How cool!Man: I know. I want to work in a chemistry lab after I graduate, so this will be a great experience.Woman: Sounds like you are all set.

Man: Em…not quite. Here’s a problem. You see, the internship doesn’t pay and I really need to earn money this summer.

Woman: Well, I read the campus bookstore needs help this summer. Maybe you could work at the lab during the week and at the bookstore on the weekends.

Man: Maybe, but then I’ll be working all the time. I’ll hardly have any time to relax all summer.

Woman: True. But here’s a thought. Why not ask your professor if you can share the internship with another person?

Man: You know, now that you mention it. Other summer interns have done this and the professors were fine with it.

Woman: Right. So you could still earn money on days when you didn’t have to be at the lab.

Man: Yeah, sounds good. The only drawback is that I might not learn as much as I would if I were actually in the lab every day and could follow the results of the experiment.

Woman: I know, but it might be worth a try.
