[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds lazy. Make it clear to him that he gets a job - any job or you hit the road. Don't become one of these bread winning women who also cooks cleans and does all the laundry.

+1  sometimes people look too much for a dream job, and with a family he just can't be this picky.  Further, I think his understanding of what he wants to do is a bit naive and idealistic - but very common with mba's.   I have done various level of strategy work  for a large company for decades.   I have seen probably at least 150 hundred new mbas who want to do big picture strategic thinking.   1) very few jobs solely focus on strategy and if they do you usually are from top 5 mba/with a pedigree from a top strategy consulting firms or 2) if he truly has a gift in this area, than he can demonstrate that in his job and his superiors will take notice as long as the job has some level of responsibility/exposure.    the talented do rise   [/quote]
