[quote=Anonymous]Has he even applied for any jobs? I graduated from UVA in 2015 with a liberal arts degree and while I did have an on-campus internship, it wasn't with a consulting firm or fortune 500 company like many of my peers. I applied for jobs throughout the spring, and although I graduated without an offer, I had one within ~2 weeks of graduating. I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I targeted jobs with pretty generic skillsets (good communicator, attention to detail, organized, good multitasker, etc.) I noticed that I was getting more "call backs" from jobs in a particular field, so I started focusing my attention there. My first job was as a technical writer, and although I do something different now, the writing role got me into the industry and I learned the path I ultimately wanted to take. All that to say - have him just start applying. At this point, he needs a job and a HAVING a job will help him find direction, whether it's something he wants to do or not.[/quote]
