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 16 year old boy works for a small firm in Liverpool£¬where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job.David’s firm releases£¨ÍƳö£© two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.6L*e'l

But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money.Even though he earns a lot£¬he cannot drive a car£¬take out a mortgage£¨µÖѺ»õ¿î£©£¬or get credit cards.David got his job with the Liverpoolª²based company four months ago£¬a year after leaving school with six O levels 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.6L*e'l

“Unfortunately£¬computing was not part of our studies at school.” he said£¬“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school.Most people in this business are fairly young£¬anyway.” David added£º“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility.You never know when the market might disappear.”6L*e'l
