Teachers:

In this lesson, we ask the question "What do you do for a living?" but we also go beyond this question to ask the interviewees if they really like their jobs. In other words, is your current job your "dream job"? If not, what is your dream job?

Five people out of the 16 in this video seem to have already found his/her dream job.
