Dear Ali,

How’re you and your family ? I hope everything is alright. I’ve received your letter in which you asked me about my opinion whether to find a job or to go to college.

Firstly, I think you won’t enjoy going to college because it may be difficult for you for many reasons . one of them is that you’ll be required to study new subjects which may be not familiar to you . Another reason is that you’ll need a lot of money to pay the college fees .

Thus, getting a job will be perfect for your situation because it may allow you to gain experience which will be needed later in your life to get a better workplace .So job won’t only guarantee you experience, but it will also help you get the funds you need to buy your dream house.

Finally , Since I’ve know you for a decade , I think working as a salesperson will be suitable for you because of the excellent communication and negotiation skills which you have.

If you need any other advice , please contact me, and don’t forget to tell me what decision you will make.

Best regard,

Mike
