[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. He says with his education he cannot obtain employment in the private sector as he is not a business major. And he doesn’t want to work at non profits as they don’t pay enough. [/quote]
ffs.. low pay is better than no pay, and as a pp noted, success begets success.

You are absolutely enabling him.

And his wife wasn't abusive for wanting to start a family and him not being able to do that because  he refuses to "lower" himself to work for lower pay at a non profit.

I'm sorry, but you need to do some tough love on him and tell him that low pay is better than no pay.   Neither of you seem to have heard the adage: it takes a job to get a job.

Agree with a PP, he needs to spend most of his waking hours on linked in, maybe go to mixers or whatever.

If I were his ex wife I'd be pissed, too. He doesn't sound like a go getter but someone  who expects a high paying job to fall in his lap.  At this point, he wouldn't make a good role model as a father.   He needs to learn to hustle.  It's too bad you didn't teach him that when he was  younger, but you can only try to teach that to him now.[/quote]
