A. I don't know why but I had no luck getting a second job at all. Nobody seemed to need my "great" abilities. Mum's medicines were rather expensive. Soon we became very short of money. I understood I just had to take any job available. So in the end, I started working as a waitress in a restaurant.

B. At the university I studied economics. My ability to count quickly helped me in my studies a lot. Some of my university friends envied me and said I got a computer inside my head. They thought I would be in big business some day. They were mistaken.

C. It didn't happen like that at all. After graduation I got a job as an accountant in a local department store. It was not what I wanted but it was my first job. I thought I was lucky to get it so quickly. I worked as an accountant for two years.

D. The new place was not far from the house where I lived, which was really convenient. But, alas, I wasn't very successful working in the restaurant. That was not my kind of thing.
