indicate the correct answer to each of the questions .
Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer
games, yet he cannot 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 works for a small 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 biggest 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 cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, 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 cannot 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 1 had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being
pessimistic. I hope it will
come to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and
gives his mother £20 a week. But most his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had
been studying it in books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1
wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are
fairly young, anyway."
David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility.
You never know when the market might disappear."
