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 I 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."

 

Why is David different from other young people at his age?

A. He earns an extremely high salary

B. He lives at home with his parents

C. He does not go out much

Lập trình viên máy tính David Jones kiếm được 35.000 đô la một năm khi thiết kế các trò chơi máy tính mới, nhưng ông không thể tìm thấy ngân hàng nào sẵn sàng cho ông một tấm séc. Thay vào đó, ông ấy được cho biết phải đợi thêm hai năm nữa, cho đếm khi ông ấy được 18 tuổi.

          Năm 16 tuổi, ông làm việc cho một công ty nhỏ ở Liverpool, nơi mà hầu hết những người trẻ ở độ tuổi của ông đang tìm kiếm việc làm. Công ty của David phát hành hai trò chơi mới cho việc mở rộng thị trường máy tính gia đình mỗi tháng.

          Nhưng nỗi đau đầu lớn nhất của David là làm gì với số tiền của mình.

          Mặc dù lương của ông, kiếm được bằng cách phát minh ra các chương trình mới trong thời gian hạn hẹp, với các khoản thanh toán tiền thưởng và chia sẻ lợi nhuận, ông ấy không thể lái xe, rút tiền thế chấp, hoặc lấy thẻ tín dụng.

          Ông ấy sống với bố mẹ trong căn nhà ở Liverpool, nơi cha ông lái xe buýt. Công ty của ông ấy phải trả xe taxi 150 bảng mỗi tháng để đón ông ấy năm dặm đến làm việc và đi về mỗi ngày bởi vì David không thể lái xe.

David đã làm việc với công ty có trụ sở tại Liverpool 4 tháng trước, một năm sau khi ra trường với sáu O-levels và làm việc một thời gian trong một cửa hàng máy tính. "Tôi nhận công việc bởi vì những người điều hành công ty này biết tôi đã viết một chương trình", ông nói.

          "Tôi cho rằng 35000 bảng có vẻ rất nhiều nhưng thực sự rất bi quan. Tôi hi vọng nó sẽ nhiều hơn năm nay." Ông ấy dành một ít tiền mua băng đĩa và quần áo cho mẹ, và cho mẹ 20 bảng mỗi tuần. Nhưng hầu hết thời gian rảnh rỗi của ông đều dành cho công việc

          "Thật không may, máy tính không phải là một phần của các nghiên cứu của chúng tôi ở trường," ông nói. "Nhưng tôi đã được nghiên cứu nó trong sách và tạp chí trong bốn năm trong thời gian rảnh rỗi của tôi. Tôi biết những gì tôi muốn làm và không bao giờ nghĩ đến ở lại trường học.Hầu hết mọi người trong ngành này đều khá trẻ."

          David nói thêm: "Tôi muốn kiếm được một triệu và tôi cho rằng nghỉ hưu sớm là một khả năng. Bạn không bao giờ biết khi nào thị trường có thể biến mất"

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 I 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.
