I hope so, too. I’d make him apply at the Corning auto-glass plant or other manufacturing facilities, but with his back injury, that wouldn’t work out. He’s going to the doctor again next week.
Backs are funny things. I injured my back as a child (toddler, actually) and should never have taken any job that had me standing for long periods.
Better he find something where he can sit down after a while. Otherwise, a lifetime of back problems awaits him.
