My DS has found it hard to get a job this year, particularly full time. Two weeks ago, he got a job at Harvester, which he loves! But it’s only 16 hours a week.
DS cannot live off 16 hours a week. He is living with me and his dad and cannot afford to contribute to energy he uses or food he eats. And he’s expensive. He’s 19, going on 20.
At the weekend, my husbands uncle came to visit and offered our son the opportunity to work with him, full time, well paid and with training which could lead to excellent career opportunities down the road.
DS is tempted, but really worried and quite sad about leaving Harvester. I have for the past couple of days encouraged him to take this new opportunity, but now I also feel sad for him. He’s worried about what all his new friends and managers will think of him. He would give the full notice.
But he needs to realistically start earning properly and have a goal and he keeps switching from wanting to do uni to not wanting to do uni.
What do you think?
thank you
