[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 703969, member: 19617"] This was my question also. Why so long a wait to get a job and pay a reasonable rent? He can find full time work / or 2 part time jobs (doing anything actually at this point, just to get working at something.) At least he should be diligently looking and doing anything in the meantime (starting now). It doesn't matter what kind of job it is ... as long as it's legal. If he is really job searching and really cannot find full time equivalent job(s), then possibly require he do volunteer work for the same amount of hours / week. At least with volunteering, he will be getting work experience, which then may enhance the prospects of him getting work, or it might lead to a job. And he should then realize that If he must work at something (even volunteeing), surely (hopefully) he would choose to ramp up the efforts to get a job that he is paid for, so he has $$. (?) If he is given so long a time to wait ~ til July (?), why should he even bother looking sooner? That is 6 months down the road ~ a lot of time to engrain a bad habit of not working. [/QUOTE]
