[quote=Anonymous]Hello all! I'm in a pickle and not sure what to do or how to help my DH at this juncture. So, DH is graduating in May from a solid MBA program. He has not had any solid job leads and after some gentle nagging I find out he hasn't applied to many places because he doesn't know what he wants to do with himself post graduation! I'm pretty distressed by this considering we have a little 7 month old baby at home and I'm working full time as a consultant while he's been in school. I was really looking forward to him bringing home a second income shortly after graduation. I'm starting to fear that he's not going to have any job offers at the rate he's been applying by the time May rolls around let alone, by the end of the summer. I've tried talking to him, asking him what sort of skills he wants to use and develop, what kind of work he would want to do...that sort of thing, to help him narrow down jobs to apply for. But all I get from him is that he wants to do work that involves big picture strategic thinking ...but not strategy consulting. It feels like he is really lost right now which is curbing his motivation (he's also a career switcher, btw -- formerly a chemical engineer.)

Sorry for this long winded, wordy plea - does anyone have any advice on how I can help my DH focus and find some kind of work that he would be interested in pursuing? I'm not on a pity party or anything and DH is a great father. I know he is doing his best to juggle his responsibilities at home and school; but I could really use some tips on how to talk to him/help him since nothing else is working....Thanks so much![/quote]
