What would you do if your millennial kid was unemployed after college?

If my kid doesn't have a job at fourteen he's sleeping outside.

They will be working somewhere. Will be one of the prerequisite for staying at home. Just may not be what they want.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

kill myself because i raised a loser

I'd be ok with it if they were working somewhere and contributing. If they are still home at 25 and not a student then we need to have a talk.

Obviously you take him/her in, and you give them an opportunity to get on their feet.
But how long do you let it go on before you pull the plug?

Maybe a few months if they are actively pursuing employment which to me means spending 40 hours a week working the web, applying for any position they are even remotely qualified for, networking with anyone they can think of who may connect them with a job, and also picking up any part time work they can. If they are sitting on their arse playing video games and texting all day I would immediately drop them off at the nearest armed forces recruiting station.

Take them back in my home? That seems to be the usual, which is strange to me.

Same here, but I am old, most of my generation had an old man that even if they never really said it directly you knew that once you left home after high school it was a one way street.

Just buy the kid the damn fedora and video game system he's been wanting already.

I lived at home until I married. But I worked and paid biils, too.

They can live with me for a small fee and a lot of labor.

Cost of living is a lot for low paying entry level positions so theres some slack to be had. But a job is a job.. go work retail idgaf. But a line must be drawn.

Slack doesnt mean you live with me rent and job free.


For the record i lived at home with my mom until 23.. but i also paid all the bills for her with my hot arse surveying job i worked while going to school.
