Use your critical thinking and reasoning skills to solve the following problem. Yana has been out of work for four months due to pandemic Covid-19 crisis. Then, in the same week, she is offered jobs by two different companies, the 99 Speedmart and KK Super Mart. KK Super Mart is paying higher hourly rate and is nearer to her home but she has to work on 24 hours shift, while 99 Speedmart is located 2 kms far from Yana’s home but nearer to her child’s day care centre. What should Yana do? Make a decision for Yana and explain why that is a good decision for her. Feel free to make up the various circumstances in her life—for example, whether Yana is a student or owns a motorcycle. The more reasons you can give for her decision, the better.
