re: My son graduated from LSU in May and won't get a job.

because of that taking any job outside of baton rouge means moving three times and three years (which isn't happening). so my potential job market is pretty limited, esp considering baton rouge is built for internships and i got a degree better suited for new york or texas. in the meantime

You're valuing yourself too high. And who cares if you have to move? It's not like you're toting a family around. I moved 3 times within my first 3 years of graduating and it was a huge help to my career because it showed my company I was committed and helped my expand my network.

Going to grad school is the default answer for most people who struggle to find a job out of college, but it's not always the right one.

If you're stubborn and do wait until after graduating to get a real job, I'd find something resume worthy to do the next 11 months. No one is going to be impressed with your year of hanging out and working at a restaurant when you start interviewing.
