[quote=Anonymous]Your biggest job is to not. panic. Your kid will figure this out. If he needs to flip burgers or wait tables for a while to pay rent, then so be it. It'll be a learning experience. If he opts to find a low paying internship to get his foot in the door, great. Four months is not that long. Your job is an implacable, smiling, "I know job searching is rough. You are smart and hardworking. You will figure this out. I have complete confidence in you." And, it would be generous, if you have the space, to let him live rent free while he figures it out. Keep an eye out for depression, and otherwise, treat him as an adult friend/roommate the best you can - be there for him to vent, offer advice only when explicitly asked, and try to avoid pity eyebrows.
