OK Son graduated high school and can't find a job.... NOW WHAT???

So what is he willing to do?

Did you teach him along the way....What, who, where, some why's?...Do you love him?

Burger technician

UBER. He can make a killing giving rides for 5 dollars apiece and no tip!

Has he ever worked? Lol

Man-whore.

The take like 2 of that, still a great job

Exactly. If he's applying for CEO or Executive VP positions, then of course he's not going to get any hits. Fresh out of high school the best he can expect is an apprenticeship in one of the trades or the military. Burger King, McDonald's, etc. are ALWAYS hiring. Sure, it's not much, but it's also not a career. It may push him toward college too. The real world sucks at that age.

I don't know where you live but there are job training programs for young people in many counties he might just have to check into your area and see what is out there sometimes there are paid internships through local or state funded programs don't lose hope

Welding pays big bucks, if working for someone else. Plumbers, if they own their own business do very good.

Send him to trade school to become a machinist. I have been offering $20-$26/he for experienced machinists in IN and cannot find anyone. They've all retired or are about to.

There are grants and scholarships as an alternative to loans. They do require one thing though. Gotta put in the work.

Umm, this ^^^ you stupid enabler.

Thanks for asking your question here and I apologize for the sarcastic comments some people make, but here are my ideas, too.

One of the best set-ups I've come across was this guy in the military. He went into the engineers.... I know he was building housing so he learned construction, plumbing, electrical... everything while getting paid. In addition other soldiers would call him up and he'd get extra $$ by using those skills to do repair/installation , etc. at those locations... THEN, when he discharged, he already had a customer base and went into business doing those things and is making a ton of money now.

I have 7 years of college and it isn't for everyone, also, my parents could pay and I don't know how these young people today can pay off those loans.... and there should be no shame in not going to college.

Technical school.... Some might be rip-offs but here in Texas, in Waco, there is TSTI Texas State Technical Institute.... I know of a number of guys who went there and are doing well now.

I like the other person's idea about learning and using code... that's always in demand.

Internships... he should be able to find one since he's right out of h.s.

Does he have any interests/hobbies? Those are good directions to start.

Maybe see a career counselor... I saw one which used the What Color is your Parachute book and, wow, what I really enjoy doing the most has NOTHING to do with a college degree, lol.

Maybe a mentor... someone who will take them under their wing... but he has to search those out.

"Create" a job... see where a business is not optimal, write a proposal and see if the company will give him a chance and if it goes well, hell often can get hired.

SALESMAN - wow, you can make big big $$$ if you can do that well.

For now, for summer, even mowing lawns.... keep him busy, make some cash, and will show initiative to employers.

Oh, if no employment there, move to somewhere there is if that is a possibility.

I hope I helped even just a little. IMO no matter what he needs to keep busy.... an idle mind....

whats a good online place these days?

Job agency,McDonald's,anything,Walmart. or this snowflake just wants a job tailored to specifications?

Google it. There are literally hundreds. Code academy dot com is a decent free one for basics. Boing boing dot com has extremely affordable full courses available for purchase. Some cheaper than others.

On to college!

Oh, I'll add this... I grew up in my father's construction supply company. In the hardware store one day it was pretty busy. Dad pulled me aside from what I was doing and said, "Son, look around the store and tell me who you think is the richest man here".... I don't know... I said, what about that man in the suit? Dad said, nope, see that man there with the dirt and mud over his clothes? He's a plumber. He makes over $250,000 a year.


Oh, also, nursing... and in nursing homes... high turnover but a great way to get paid while doing some really good work for other people.

Here in central Texas and now other locations, there is Schlitterbahn... they are always hiring young people for the summer. Fun job, make lots of friends, and be around the hottest looking babes. :)

When he goes for a job, tell him to tell the employer to fire someone who's not doing a good job and hire him. I guarantee he will get hired if he does that enough times.

And after he does get hired, all of the places where he told them to fire someone else and hire him, will call and offer him a job.

Would you let some Army retard wire your house lol

Yeah, especially after you drive for 10 hrs and net about 40 bucks after fuel, wear and tear etcetera. Great work.

Ok what was on his resume, application?

A lot of the millennials put on application under expected pay 30$ /hour and other ridiculousness, they have been coddled there whole lives and told how special they are that their minds have become warped.

Do it on line so the coons and SJWs don't ruin the kid.

Screw it... the education system failed him. He graduated high school and cant even get a damn minimum wage job.

Just what kind of economic system do we have here? TOTAL FAILURE!

He refuses to go to college and cannot afford it and will not go into debt for the ripoff college degree bullshit!

I have friends that have a college degree earning minimum wage with a college degree! That is total bullshit and complete ripoff! These people spent thousands of dollars earning a USELESS college degree and cannot get a job earning more than peanuts for a living. It is a total RIPOFF. College is a RIPOFF.

Op, you seem kind of stupid

HELL, I am telling the TRUTH, would you like to speak with my friends going into debt for 20K-35K for a college degree and finding no jobs whatsoever that will hire then for a decent wage?

I have about 25-50 people here that are ready to give you a butthurt post....

I hope he hacks the damn planet and shuts the entire internet down for several months!
