You see, he has his own company, and he wanted me to start working with him right after college. That sounded fine to me, so T didn’t plan on being a very serious student. But once I started studying in college, I realized that some of my courses really interested me. One of them was French. I loved learning the language, and I began to get interested in French culture. After taking a few classes, I thought, why not go to France? So I decided to spend an academic year in Aix en Provence, in southern France. ‘That year in Aix changed my life. I lived with a wonderful French family, who taught me a lot about French customs. Learning the language, especially the pronunciation, was difficult. But I worked hard, and I began to understand and speak it well. Because of my experience in Aix, I've decided not to go into business with my father. Now I'm thinking about going to graduate school and working in international relations.

Some began to dress as casually as they did ‘on the weekends. This created an issue for company managers. While they wanted their employees to be more comfortable, they still expected them to look professional. Tr took a litte while, but some basic rules for appropriate business casual clothing finally emerged. Here’s what they are usually like: Men ‘The biggest difference: jackets and ties are not necessary. Sweaters are OK, and shirts can be plain, striped, or have a simple pattern. Pants should be in plain colors such as brown, gray, or black. Shoes and socks should be dark, Shorts, jeans, or T-shirts are generally not allowed. Women ‘Women aren't as limited in their choice of clothes as men. They can wear brighter colors and bolder patterns. Skirts shouldn't be too short. Fitted ‘Tshirts and pantsuits are OK.
