[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let your husband decide. If he's already helped nobody's, he absolutely should help family. What's your actual problem? [/quote]

I feel super uncomfortable asking my husband to help an unqualified in-law get a job he does not deserve. We’re not talking about an internship to a teenager, he is a graduating senior. They want me to have my husband hand a nephew he hardly knows a highly prestigious job that pays two if not three times more than he’s qualified to get on his own.[/quote]

1. Your nephew is not your husband's in-law.  What are you, a third wife 48 years his junior??
2. You have no idea what your nephew is qualified to earn.  You are googling average salaries and don't even know what the alternative job would be for him.  
3.  Your initial question was "is this just how the world works" and the answer is YES.  But every post since then you've called your nephew some variation on useless or stupid, so ask the question you really want to ask:  Are you highlighting your middle class roots by letting your need to feel superior to your sister stand in the way of any additional money accruing to your family members.  (The answer is still yes, btw.)[/quote]
