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

At 16, I showed up at a construction site and said I would work for free for a week. (summer)

I have never been unemployed since.

OH! He had several volunteer jobs. They still didn’t get him in the door to a paying job. It is just a rough time for young men.

Sadly, that's illegal in our brave new world.

Bingo. You’re my #1 example now - show up, ready to work, actually DO work, actually GET DIRTY... and lo! You have been employed without a problem.
