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. Write a letter to this friend. In your letter Say why he/she would not enjoy going to college Explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her Suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

Dear Sandra, Trust you’re doing well. In reference to the
last
letter I read from you, I want to let you know that there will be no need to get into any college as you’ve got the right practical skills rather than the theories and core subjects taught in higher institutions if you want to obtain a
second
degree. I believe you’ll be successful once you follow your inherited potential. Nowadays, employers recruit their subordinates with
first
degrees and I’m sure with your internship experience, you’ll be opportune to fetch good prospects which will hone your skills and enable you to learn the corporate culture early.
Thus
, rich and sufficient hands-on experience counts. I believe web design will suit you to the ground, as you have excellent coding skills, which will help you to create websites for any company that needs an online presence.
However
, you will go through six months of training during the induction period. Kindly let me know where you would need any
further
assistance. Your friend, Grace
