Rana Sino interviews former foster youth Chris Bogle on the difficulties of balancing college and work.

Prompts for discussion and/or writing:

--Chris was inspired by the TV show Law and Order to become a lawyer. What inspired you to pursue your career goal?

--If you don’t currently have a career goal, how do you plan on eventually finding one?

--During his first semester in college, Chris gets distracted from his studies and hangs out too much. Are you worried about keeping focused on your studies? Why or why not?

--Do you plan to work during college? If so, what kind of job will you hold and how many hours will you work?
