CDL Prep Jobs

You make good points, but I am hollering from the mountain tops "you cannot raise a kid that only does well if he's in the right environment because EVERY environment is filling up with lazy, entitled losers." It's more important to teach the kid to do what's right even if everyone else is taking the lazy way out, than it is to wrap them in bubble wrap and protect them.

Talk the kid into joining the military. You are forced to learn discipline, you are inspected, no excuses are accepted. Then when the kid leaves the military they have the discipline and GI Bill benefits. Too many kids grow up with an absent father and a rescue mom. That will destroy kids as fast as anything else, especially boys.

 

Try the military; it's going to improve greatly and soon. He can get a CDL and driving experience to prepare him for civilian life.

maybe @Chinatown can name some.

 

I get the feeling you are hoping to rescue the kid. You can't, but it's your life. If the kid isn't motivated you can't wave a wand and make him motivated. The one skill I've noticed in the 20-somethings is excuse generation. There will always be an excuse for NOT doing things. Any plan the kid isn't involved in creating will be ignored like he ignores all of the other advice in the world. Why isn't the kid seeking this information instead of you?

 

If drug use would keep the kid out of the military it will also keep him out of better jobs.
