Careers and future jobs

1:08

But 'career' is a word we use to talk more about our work in the long term.

1:08

So all of the jobs that we've had

1:12

and the jobs that we might want to do in the future.

1:16

OK, and also with career, it's a word we use to talk about the type of work we do.

1:24

So you might have a career in teaching or a career in TV, for example.

1:33

So, Neil, I know you work here at BBC Learning English, of course.

1:39

But have you had any other jobs?

1:42

Oh, yes. I've had lots of other jobs.

1:46

Before I worked at the BBC, I was a teacher, an English teacher.

1:51

And before that, I had lots of jobs when I was a student.

1:57

OK, so how long have you worked at the BBC for?

2:02

20 years. More than 20 years.

2:04

Oh, wow! OK, so when you were a student and you had jobs,

2:10

that was quite a long time ago.

2:12

It was ages ago, Beth! Before the internet was invented.

2:17

OK!
