My son needs work do have any suggestions he is 46 can any suggest any thing?

Many community colleges have retraining programs for people who lose their jobs. Go see someone and find out what programs they have plus the financial aid office for grants etc. He should retrain in a career where there is a demand. Most programs take 2 years or under.

46 and Mommy is asking this question.... Maybe that is why he doesn't have a job.

bronzebabekentucky

tell him to go to an employment agency
or put in applications

Crazy cat lady >^ ^<

What about your son finding his own job ??? Does he even want to work ? There is plenty of jobs out there mind you they my not all pay top dollar but they are jobs..

christianbookem

Yes tell him to get a life 1st! 46 come on now!

kitty

McDonalds

Heather B

Ask him if he can say....."Would you like fry's with that?"

If he can.....tell him mcdonalds is ALWAYS hiring!

46 or 16?

al4kitten1

tell to head to the mall, the stores there always need help.

Keith Python

Depends entirely on what his skills are. Have him visit Monster.com

I really hope you meant 16 years old. If he is that old and his mommy is looking for a job.......that's sad. If he's 16, then there are a lot of opportunities, such as Walmart, grocery store or even a paper route. Well, i would also advise that for a 46 year old man looking for a job.

you're posting for your loser son? its too late already.

dalia

I'm not sure where you are located but i have a few idea's. I know school districts always have lots of jobs openings campus security, janitors, food service and another job that pays very well is the post office its just one simple test to get hired which i think is common sense. Does he have any degrees at all

meka33311

Are you serious ?....first he may need to be tested for ADD then take him down to the local unemployment office if they can't find anything for him then register him for school maybe he can get a certificate in something .......

nurse ratchet

Not enough info - what experience does he have? What are his interests? Who is hiring? All important questions.

I can only say that he needs to just do something, somewhere until he finds a job he likes. Usually, you don't find the right job unless you already have a job.

Akitas are Bomb

Okay lets sEE if I got this right, your son is 46 years old and you are trying to find him a job!! Maybe first you should take the diapers off and get the Binky out of his mouth.

I understand he is your son but there come a time to cut the apron stings and tell him to get a life. ANYONE who really wants a job can find one. Heck Burger King is always hiring!!

skunk

Hell Mom let your Son ask for a job. He is 46 years old ,let him do something for his self.No wonder he don`t have a job.

MustangPride

I'd say the military but he's too old for that now

Wyfee Columbus

it all depends on what skills he has. figure that out then go from there to find what he's interested in and what he may succeed at.

Wow42

I suggest he get off his backside and get down to an employment agency and read the help wanted ads as well. Stop supporting him or enabling him to be lazy. Good grief!

~Jen~

Go to one of those temporary agencies. They can help.

bestanswersinchicago

Your son is 46....a grown man. If he needs his mother to come on yahoo answers for him to get a job, he's not qualified for any job.

Jenny J

stop babying him. make him learn to live on his own. its not that hard to find a job. he can even get one at best buy or walmart cmon! it's not hard at all!

10tolife

tell him to start small get a job at micky Ds but keep looking for something more go to a school at night for a trade in computers but really push to better himself.
just because he's down dont mean he will stay down he has to fight to get out of the rutt as long as he think about the problem of not having a job the more his own thoughts will keep him down.
find something that easy to get into
but keep looking for something better
go to school at night or on weekends
if he smoking he should stop becaue drug test are requier in all jobs these days(no disrespect)

Warehouseman. Christmas season is starting and many companies need dependable people who will be there every day and willing to work long hours. Could lead to a great job opportunity.

1912 Hudson

what kind of experience does he have?

Carol T

Sometimes, getting your foot in the door is what it takes. Try going to a temp agency. Not one of these day labor types, but one that has a temp to hire program with various employers. That way, he may get lucky enough to find the job that makes him happy.

S_Gnat

Most cities have a fairly high foreclosure rate right now. There are people who are hired by the banks to go in and clean out the properties as well as do basic repairs. I would look for someone who does that in your area and have your son learn the trade. Look for companies with things like Mortgage Field Service in their name.

JESSE

If he has any degrees, that would be the start. I am guessing he doesn't. Any major company where he can climb up the ladder and be in a more age appropriate position would be good.

MrKnowItAll

The economy is totally shot with over 56% of all americans unemployed, so if he finds a job that will hire him, he is doing good. The best way to actually make some money is to find something you are interested in and start your own business related to it. It may take a few attempts to find just the right thing to do, but its better than sending out resume's every day and hoping for a hit.

just_another_dummy

try having him go back to school.
