‘Do you have any idea how difficult it is nowadays to make some good money?!’
‘What do you mean?’
‘What do I mean? I mean that no matter what job you have in this city, it is always badly paid. You work long hours and when you get your salary, you have very little money in your hands.’
‘Can you pay your rent?’
‘Yes, I can pay the rent and electricity bill and other things. But after I pay everything, I have very little money left.’
‘So why don’t you change your job?’
‘I changed my job a few times in the last three years, but the salary is very low everywhere.’
‘No, not everywhere. There are many jobs with good salaries.’
‘Yes, but those jobs are mostly in IT. You need to know a lot of things about computers and programming. And I don’t know anything about computers.’
‘Then you should learn something. You are still young and smart. You can do it!’
‘Unfortunately, I have no time to go to school. And I have no money for it either.’
‘There are many courses on youtube. And many are for free.’
‘Really? I will have a look at it tonight.’
