3. Do you think that credit cards have changed people's shopping habits?
Yes, definitely! When people go to the mall, they don't need to carry lots of cash with them.
So it's very convenient because people can buy expensive stuff anytime and almost anywhere. In
addition, even if they don't have much money on their credit cards, people can still swipe them
and buy stuff. They go into debt but they usually have a month to pay the bank back. So credit
cards definitely facilitate shopping (= make shopping simple) for customers. However, in my
country, we still can't use credit cards in every shop, but it's spreading quickly everywhere.
4. Do you think that we will have a cashless society in the future?
Well, it might happen, and maybe sooner than we expect. I guess in the future everyone will
have a personal ID card with money on it, just like a credit card, and we'll be able to pay for the
subway, or to buy food at any supermarket, convenience store, or restaurant. We'll just need to
swipe the card or present it in front of a payment machine.
5. How important is salary when choosing a job?
Well, salary is fundamental when we choose a job, because we all work in order to make a
living. If the salary isn't satisfactory, chances are that we'll try to find another job. There are other
factors that are important too, like whether the job is interesting or whether there are chances to
get trained and promoted in the future, but salary is definitely important for every employee.
6. What jobs do you think will be highly paid in the future?
You mean people who, right now, don't get so much money, but will in the future? That's a
tough question... Environmentally-friendly engineers will definitely get a lot of money in the
future if they manage to come up with ideas that will benefit the environment. Otherwise,
managers, doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and architects already get a very high salary, and that
won't change in the future.
