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 David, I have received your letter, and I am so glad that you all are doing fine.

Also

, I thank you for taking me into confidence in order to consult about a decision as important as either getting a job or going to a college. While I consider both propositions to be very crucial for personal and professional growth, I think that timing and personal circumstances are

an important decision. And, knowing you personally for quite some time, I don’t think that timing and circumstances are exactly on your side as far as the issue of going to a college is concerned. In fact, I know, how you don’t like doing so much homework and love to explore new places and opportunities. So, I would suggest that you should gain some job experience before you start college. You should get a job as a front desk agent at a hotel because I know you have an outgoing personality, and you like to meet and talk to different kinds of people. After all, a hotel is a place which is visited by all kinds of new people almost every day. I wish you the very best of luck. Warm wishes, Antony
