Dear Laura,
I’ve just received your letter and I’d be more than happy to give you some advice.
I’d usually recommend friend to go to college but in this case it’d just be a waste of time and money, let’s be honest, you’ve never been a high achiever. I just feel that you’d be better off by getting a job rather than going to college. There are also a lot of major assignments and in school you used to struggle to even get the easy ones done.
I think you’d be great at working in the service sector. You’re a very sociable person and you have a bubbly personality. A suitable job for you could be in the hospitality industry, maybe as a receptionist in a hotel or as a waitress in a fancy restaurant. Another option could be to work in the customer service department at a bank or a department store helping with customer enquiries or complaints.
I’d love to hear the outcome of your decision, keep me posted.
Lots of love,
Paola
