Computer programmer David Jones earns MYM35,000 a year designing new computer games,yet he cannot found a bank ready to let him have a credit card.Instead,he has been told to wait another two years,until he is 18.The 16yearold boy works for a small firm in Liverpool,where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job.Davids firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But Davids biggest headache is what to do with his money.Even though he earns a lot,he cannot drive a car,take out a mortgage(抵押貨款),or get credit cards.David got his job with the Liverpoolbased company four months ago,a year after leaving school with six Olevels 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.
