“He’s been applying to jobs online, but nothing has come of that. He’s been to some job fairs, but the Whole Foods job seems better.”
Is he a self-starter? Is he mature and accountable? If yes then the thing to do is work for a corporation that has upward mobility and advance. He can jump employers to get pay raises, advancements. The degree plus experience should qualify him for supervisor and eventual executive positions. A BS in business is a very portable degree.
If he does not yet have these qualities I recommend entrance into the Army or Marine Officer Corps for a single enlistment followed by entry into the Corporate world at whatever level is available.
He’s not a self-starter and not super mature. He is very friendly and responsible. He is also very flexible. He’s only been working a short time, and he’s taken extra shifts when they become available.
My husband got him a job at a start up he was working at one summer. My husband said my son was a very good worker there. He caught on quickly, reorganized how they did their database and then managed some interns there. Unfortunately, that company didn’t make it, and didn’t really give him contacts.
Military is not an option because of health issues.
My husband is thinking our son will just move up at Whole Foods. There are jobs (business and financial analyst) at the corporate office that fit his skill set.
Our son also said he picked Whole Foods becausee he’s interested in nutrition. He also says he thinks he would love to open up a retail business at some point, and he wanted experience in retail.
Good thing is he was young starting college, and he got out in 4 years. He’s only 22.
