There are many next steps in life...
For instance, right now, Mia Grant's first thought was about her job prospects after graduation.
So, without much thought, she said, "I won't be graduating anytime soon. I plan to pursue a doctorate afterward."
"I'll definitely come back after I finish my studies. According to my current plan, I'm going to work hard to get a job at a research institute."
She had already checked the location. It would be a very convenient commute to and from home once she started working.
Mrs. Keller didn't have much to say about her career plans. "And after that?"
Mia's expression went blank. For a moment, she didn't understand what the other woman meant.
'Is she asking about my next career move?'
Mia admitted to herself that she was ambitious, but she didn't want to seem too aggressive.
She didn't have many short-term plans.
After all, she was still in graduate school.
