Difficult choices
Barry has been enjoying his first year at University, meeting new friends and making the most of his freedom. Unfortunately, his super-charged social life has wrecked his carefully-planned budget and he now has to work 5 late shifts every week packing boxes of online shopping for a supermarket.
When he isn't working late, he is out drinking with his friends, so he rarely gets to bed before 2am and often doesn't get to University before lunchtime. He is missing lectures and getting poor marks for his assignments.
What should he do?
A - cut back on his social life, save money and spend more time studying
B - try and get a different job with more social working hours
C- ask his parents to send him some money so he can concentrate on his studies
