[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for this, and any other practical tips.

He just graduated last weekend. Arrived home yesterday. Already has plans to play basketball and golf with high school friends and a party this weekend. Making plans to get together with an out of town GF. This is what cannot continue. It's too much of the "just another summer" mindset.

He had a third interview for what sounds like a terrific opportunity on Monday, but is not feeling hopeful about the outcome.

We had these ideas:

Put him in charge of dinner for the family one night a week.
Expected to be up and out of bed (bed made) by 8:00 each weekday, working on job search. 
If no real job offer by June 1 (mid June?), he finds an hourly job in retail, etc, working a minimum of 30 hours a week, to include weekends.

Other thoughts? [/quote]

This is all excellent but I would have him start looking for a seasonal summer job now.  Those are the easiest to get and they will fill up by June.
He can look for a retail or other non-seasonal job in late summer if the professional job search is still not going well.[/quote]
