[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he working as a server in a restaurant with a college degree? That is the problem. Did you not council him about his major and realistic job prospects with said major?

I would let him move in with the expectation that he be willing to discuss the future. Does he need to take some other classes? Get some real life experience? Do an internship? I would be doing everything possible to help my college graduate make a living in a field more stable than a waiter.[/quote]

I'm not clear what he studied in college or built skills in. If it is a career track where you need to get that entry-level job with training in and get started. During your 20s you get maybe 2-4 different tries at different industries or functions before you have to pick and go narrower. Grad school mid-way can help too .

OP, get your son back home and give him a couple tools (do NOT be the tool) to get on a career track or apprenticeship track. Then he needs to pick something and do it already. Time to make decisions, not float around as a college-educated waiter for your main income and time commitment .[/quote]
