Please answer this: Read the below conversation.  W: Hey, James, how is the job search going?  M: Hi, Sharon, I had no idea. It'll take so much time. It sure makes it difficult to prepare for final exams. How about you?  W: I was lucky. There seems to be a shortage of highschool teachers now. I applied to three schools and each one offered me a position.  M: That's great. Which one did you like?  W: I haven't decided yet. Of course, it will be easiest for me to stay here in New York or go back home to Boston, but I may go to California.  M: That will be a big move.  W: So tell me about your plans?  M: Well, I applied to six newspapers. Last week, I had an interview with New York Times.  W: How did it go?  M: Not so well. I think they are looking for people with some experience.  W: Have you had any other interviews?  M: No, not yet. It seems that everyone wants to be a writer these days. There just aren't many jobs out there.  W: That's too bad.  M: Yes, I had a hope to have a job lined up by graduation. That doesn't seem likely now.  W: What will you do if you can't find a job?  M: In that case, I'll begin working on the master's degree in the fall.  What would the listener say?
