David Jones and His Salary 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. Davids firm releases two new games for the home computer market each month. He lives with his parents in Liverpool. His company has to pay ￡150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive. I suppose ￡35,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that his year. He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother ￡20 a week.
