[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 338560, member: 4264"] Please make a plan for him to know how to call collect from any phone, any where. Give him a back up person to contact if you are not at home to answer the phone. Also, tell him that if this is a scam job and he is ditched somewhere, you will NOT enter into I told you so's. That he can live and learn and hope for the best, but you want him prepared for the worst in case he was too hopeful and too trusting. Make a plan that he is aware if needed you will fund a bus ticket home and he can and will pay you back at his next job, which he can start looking for a day or two after getting home. I really think it important that he knows if this does fall apart, he can call you for help in a bad situation without him worrying he'll have to eat crow. thats a hard pill to swallow. And hey, he is excited about work. That is a definite upside to this shoddy sounding job. If it doesnt' bite him in the butt, GREAT. If it does? I wouldn't want to put him off future work related motivations out of bruised ego ;). [/QUOTE]
