Computer programmer David Jones earns $35.000 a year designing new computer games. Yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡. 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(推出)two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款),or get credit cards. 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. David spends some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school” he said. “ But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I 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 I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility .You never know when the market might disappear.”
