Interview 1
The year is 2010. What is my life? That’s a pretty difficult question to answer. For starters, I am
the President of Universal Robini Corporation. I love my job because probably I face a new challenge
every day. I also like having power, and knowing that many people work below me. All kidding aside,
the best part of my job is my six-figure salary. Everything is just so expensive, and any extra money
helps.

42-43. Codes: ______________________________________________________________________________________

Interview 2
My husband, Michael, also has an excellent job. He works for an engineering company, where
he is very happy. With our salaries combined, we live comfortably, but not extravagantly. We both set
aside portions of our pay every week and put it in an account that will one day pay for our children’s
college education. I knew what it was like to have to work to pay my own way through college. I want
to make sure that my kids don’t have to worry about that.
