My son, 23, out of work, and I were having a beer at the American Legion.
He talks to everyone about trying to get a job.
After a few weeks a guy came up to him and said show up tomorrow, we'll give you a look.
Now after 4 months he is on his way to becoming a locksmith.

I guess it pays to open your mouth and have some luck too.

Now after 4 months he is on his way to becoming a locksmith.

Did he go to college after high school ? If so, what did he major in ?

Did he actually had formal training in locksmithing, or is going to learn on the job ?

Young men have it hard. My son looked for a job for a couple of years (teenager to 20) and couldn’t find anything until Walmart did some summer hiring and picked him up.

I agree. And luck is when an opportunity meets a prepared mind.

If you really want to work, and are willing to eat beans for awhile, America is still the land of opportunity. We have entirely too many swee'pea babies who think they are entitled to a cushy job fresh out of college.
