An Expensive Interview

Joe filled up his car with water and oil, drove to the bottom of the road and the clutch cable broke.

So we wound up driving him to Bolton.

It was a good interview. The guy says he'd employ him like a shot but first he (Joe)has to get the qualification he's already started working towards. So that's three weeks intensive study and....

Item: 3 Weeks Course work- £440
Item: I new clutch- £ 70

Total: £510

But it'll be worth it in the long run.

Right?

"worth it in the long run"

It seems like it's worth it. I mean, Joe had already started working toward the qualification, and he needs that car to work no matter what, yes?

I think so.

Yes, he can't do without the car and the qualification ought to be his passport to the job he dreams of doing.

I guess I don't want to tempt the gods by being too sure.
