Hi, I'm from the UK, just going into Year 10 but already thinking about what to do when I finish school.
My sister left straight away and got a good job that pays well.
But I don't know whether to do that or to go to college.
Which one would be better and why??

Four women must cross a bridge over a deep ravine in enemy territory in the middle of the night. The treacherous bridge will hold only two women at once. It is necessary to carry a lantern while crossing over. One of the women requires five minutes for the trip across, one takes ten minutes, a third requires twenty min. and the last takes twenty-five minutes. Each can walk slower if necessary but NO faster. Unfortunately, they have only one lantern among them. How can they make the crossing if they only have sixty minutes before the bridge is destroyed???
