Hi

I’ve got some good news, but I also need some advice.

I’ve just received my exam results, and fortunately I passed all my subjects and even got a
distinction in Maths and IT.  As a result, I’ve been offered a place at university to do a
three-year degree in Business Studies. However, the problem is that my mother and my
father-in-law don’t think I should go to university. Although my father-in-law didn’t go to
university, he’s become a very successful businessman with a chain of small hotels around
the country. Anyway, he would like me to start working for him as a trainee manager in one
of these hotels. I worked there during the summer holidays last year as a receptionist, and I
really enjoyed it. So, I’m thinking of accepting his offer of a permanent job now instead of
going to university. Apparently, I could become the manager of one of his hotels within
five years.

Please let me know what you think.

Speak soon

Jane
