Computer programmer David Jones earns £35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he can't find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old boy works for a firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.But David's highest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary,earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he can't drive a car, take out a mortage, or obtain credit cards.He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David can't drive.David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop." I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," hesaid.David added :" I would like to earn a million and suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear,"
