All right, class, stop typing, please.

Before we go on with the next exercise, I'd like to make one of my little speeches.

This is your first course in preparing for an office job.

You're starting a new career.

It can be fun or it can be hard.

It all depends on the way you look at things, your attitude.

For instance, you'll be working in an office.
