Dear Paul,

I’m writing you to clarify your mind about why going to a college not enjoying for you. In my opinion, you should get a job.

Let me explain my advice in more detail. As I know, you not only school but also do not work lessons very much. For taking a diploma, you will have to study at least four years and this situation is not suitable for you. In addition, your economic conditions which you have are not enough for living during your education. Itis a good thing that working at a job with this choice you solve your economical problems.

I can suggest some types of jobs which are suitable for you. For instance, you can work as a cashier in a supermarket or as a waiter in a restaurant. You can start at there, make a career on of these sectors and one day you may have your own stores.

I look forward hearing from you.

Your friend,

Ersoy
