You recently received a letter from a friend asking for advice about whether to go to college or to try to get a job. You think he/she should get a job.

Dear Alex, Thank you for your letter, it is good to hear from you.
However
, in regards to whether you should study or work, I think pursing higher education is not easy, it requires a lot of knowledge in both math and physics. But unfortunately, as you are aware of your academic performance is inadequate in fact you barely graduated high school. So, it is will be a hustle to get a university admission. Since your family’s financial situation is difficult getting a job would help them tremendously to pay back some of the loans as well as you can
also
save some money in order to move to Los Angles in the future to pursue your action career. I would advise you to join the Uber driving fleet, being an Uber driver does not require any educational background. All you need is your driving license, which you already have. I heard Uber drivers are making a good living for their families. I hope you find a job as soon as possible Your friend HESHAM
