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 Ali, I hope you are very well. I am writing to you to share my thoughts on the decisions you'll make about your future. First of all, I would like to state that knowing you care about my decisions and suggestions made me happy. As for the topic, I think that getting a job is better than going to college. The reason why I think so is because of the education system in our country.
For example
, there are many unemployed graduates from the field of study you want. After these young people graduate, they can only find a job with the lowest salary.
Therefore
, I think that you get a job and focus on your own work skills.
For instance
, it is a fact that you are so good at trading, and in my opinion, you should be interested in trading. I want you to know that I will be there for you whenever you need me. I hope these suggestions will be helpful. Please let me know the outcome of
this
matter and your decision. See you soon, Sinan Y.
