She has my sympathy.

My step son went through two years of college in carpentry/joinery. ;)
Not a sniff of a job, anywhere.

He is nineteen now and has never worked. I can't afford to employ him as we are only just covering the bills.

He keeps looking but the constant rejection and kickbacks really get him down  :'(

Not a good time  :'(

I found that bar work was the easiest to get at that age rather than shop work even if it is just to get work experience :y

Hi

It may not be her cup of tea if say she is in a relationship and trying to save for a house but what about voluntary overseas work? The employment situation maybe better on her return, the experience would improve her CV and her life (hopefully). Sort of like a year out before the serious business of mortgages and family kick in (forever).

Just a suggestion
