Dear An,

I just received your letter. I’m very happy that you send mail to receive advice from me.
And I got to know that you are in a situation where you can’t make a decision about your
career. Although the option of going to college seems exciting, I think you should take a
gap year to find out which job you are suitable for.

Firstly, the economic issue will be one of the difficulties when you choose a good and
suitable university for you. If you choose to go to university after graduating from high
school, I think you will always worry about tuition fees and some other expenses. That
will make it impossible for you to focus on your studies. It's really a waste of time.

Secondly, you choose take a gap year to find out which job you are suitable for is a
decision that can help you solve some of the problems you are facing. If you get a job,
you can help your mother to reduce the financial burden on your family. In addition,
you’ll save money and no longer worry about your upcoming studies.

Finally, I think you should choose the jobs according to your interests. For example, you
like to make cakes, you can choose to work as an employee at a bakery. Here you will be
able to work in a dynamic, creative environment, learn many things and can develop your
baking ability.

I hope my suggestion would help you decide what is best for you.
Best wishes,
Linh
