Giant in Pastyland now
He got kicked out of college for attendance issues. Has so far decided retail, hospitality and warehousing are out from physical issues. So knowledge based but he 'doesn't like' remote customer service. Also seems to not be applying to apprenticeships, won't get a (paid for bike license and bike) so that's limiting in a very rural area.
GCSEs are all fine but nothing since. Mentioned law but well nothing here, won't consider moving outside the county. Seems his main forward looking ambition is managing to get on disability and do part time. He's worked in like 6 different roles and done fine til cut backs and last in first out was applied.
Has seriously restricted options to basically no jobs at all. Is not really the academic type but learning on the job with 1 day a week would work. He walked 5 miles last night but can't do stuff cos of his knee it seems. Likes IT but won't do remote level 1 stuff, I found a 50/50 role thar fits everything. Half fork lift, half IT and then a day at college. Didn't even apply. I'm running out of options here. He's very comfortable with living at home and having a lot of entertainment available. It just doesn't bode well for independence or future life so far.
I know it can be done. I did it but I also had more education and drive of kids and SO to get income for. He's seen me work the majority of his life. Idk what he is expecting. He can lift and move items and has a good brain but won't use it. Idk where to go from here. Gave him time but nothing seems to be a motivator. Any ideas? I'm all out of them.
