[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell him starting December 1 he needs to start paying $1,000 in rent to you each month. The idea he's too old to get a job is ridiculous! Go work at Costco or Trader Joe's. He just can't get what kind of job he WANTS. He needs to get over his ego. Time for tough love. [/quote]

This advice is cracking me up. Do you have ANY idea how sought after retail jobs at Costco are? He’s never, ever getting hired there.[/quote]

I don't know the answer to your question holistically, but my 20 year old nephew applied to work at Costco and was immediately contacted and hired.  No prior retail experience.  Took like 3 weeks from applying to getting hired.

He was willing to work over all the holidays which he said is something important to Costco.  Also, I would imagine Costco looks more favorably on a 20 year old without college who looks like someone that will stick around vs. a 37 year old with a Masters who seems like he is just biding time.[/quote]

Sure, perhaps they get hired, but then they get about 12 to 24 hours per week. Definitely not a full time job.[/quote]

He works 40 hours…Costco is a great employer.  My sister is hopeful he will eventually take advantage of college benefits once he qualifies, but is also encouraged that you can rise through a store and make good $$$s if you become a store manager (like $300k).[/quote]
