[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is our oldest nephew and I'm a SAHM, so I've never been through this before. Nephew is graduating from college. Sister and BIL are middle class. I'm a bit uncomfortable with my husband putting his neck out for an in-law who honestly doesn't seem deserving of a backdoor to a lucrative job. Or is this just how the world works and I should encourage my husband to help? [b]My husband has helped a couple of close friends' kids,[/b] but they all had pretty impressive CVs, so I don't think they really even needed the lift.[/quote]

If he's willing to do it for friends' kids, you should definitely ask him to do it for your nephew.  It's an entry-level position, he's not asking to be CFO.  He can sink or swim once he gets there but having the door opened by a connection is *exactly* how the world works.

It's strange that you call your nephew "an in-law" when speaking from your husband's perspective.  Your sister and BIL are his in laws, but the next generation down is just . . . his nephew, same as yours.  [/quote]

We socialize with those families and those handful of kids he helped we knew for years. Very charming and highly ambitious students. I doubt they even needed my husband's help. My nephew is fairly aimless and isn't setting the world on fire. I'm sure he can land a regular 60K job like any other graduating college student. My sister and brother in law think my husband can pull strings to land him some plum six figure finance job a couple months before he graduates.[/quote]
