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 colledge - explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her - suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

Dear Mike, Hope you are doing well. I got your mail saying that you were wondering if attending a university or applying for a

job

would be a better idea. My suggestion for you is that starting to work as early as possible probably suits you better.

Firstly

, pursuing a higher degree is not always appealing, especially to you. As far as I know, the tuition fee has been through the roof in these few years and you might find it to be a huge financial burden. I do not recall there being any reputational college in your city, so if you wish to look for an education

satisfactory quality, you might have to leave your hometown. Settling down in a completely new location can be challenging psychologically.

Secondly

, there are quite a few benefits for you to start working rather than continuing to school.

For example

, you can have more exposure to the practical knowledge essential for your career development. The professional connections that you will build up

the

will be invaluable in the future.

Moreover

, it never hurts when you can make some money to keep ends meet! My sense is that you could start with the applications for part-time openings. Based on my experience, these will provide you with more flexibility in your schedule. Generally speaking, the qualification requirements are usually not so challenging to meet. You can always discuss your options with your supervisor if you are convinced that the

job

is right for you afterwards. I hope

this

is useful for you and wish you good luck in your

job

hunting! Best wishes,
