Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm... Dad, can we talk
Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat.
Son: OK. Here it is. I’ve decided not to go to university. I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school.

Son: Yes, but I’m not interested in law. I want to work in a studio, not a court.
Grandfather: (looking at Father) Calm down. OK
Father: (ignoring Grandfather’s words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job.
Son: Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job.
Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!

Grandfather: Yes, and you have found the career that suits your talents. I’m so proud of you. Your son is proud of you, too.
Son: Of course I am, but I have different talents.
Grandfather: (turning to Son) Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet
Son: Well, I could try...
Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options for your future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.
Father: Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!
Son: (with a sigh) Dad...
