[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 496493, member: 1967"] Susie, I think that they are all very different here. As for my difficult child, I absolutely think that she should be working. However, that is easier said than done in this economy. She has applied a lot of places and had some interviews but so far no luck. Another issue for some in a sober house would be transportation. Where we live, there is little in the way of public transportation so you would really need a car to be able to find and hold down a job. I know that most of the people where my difficult child lives do not own cars. Another problem is a lack of and/or poor work history due to incarceration or drug abuse. People like that are not the first person hired when there are a lot of people vying for jobs. You can't pay rent or buy a car without a job. It is a catch-22. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
