[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 630686, member: 1514"] I understand living in a very small town with practically nothing in the employment arena. Heck my oldest son who has worked for the same place for the last 8 years and is now a manager for a national retail chain but is actively looking for another job cant find one. A kid with problems has even less of a chance. The only real hope we have found is construction. If your son isnt completely physically unable to move then he can get a job in construction doing something. Im sure you probably told him at some point in time that if he didnt do X he would end up digging a ditch all his life? Well now is the time to dig that ditch. Might not be literally a ditch he has to dig but he can start out as a helper or laborer and work his way up. He will earn more than minimum wage at least. Heck if your son isnt afraid of heights tell him to look on line for companies that do cell phone tower work. Good money in that and they train. One good place to look for construction work is craigslist. Normally people meet up at some central location and ride in a van to the job sites. My SO has worked in construction since he was 18 and supported our family that way. [/QUOTE]
