They may or may not get the jobs that they are after but the process will be a good thing for them too. <br /><br />Creating their own job is extremely valuable also! They both have skills and interests that could evolve into a young business ---trombone lessons, photography, guitar lessons, etc. I am very excited to watch this journey unfold and see what they accomplish!Pam at MoneyTrailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120369681070540769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765204152075197877.post-50659509660535309472011-04-05T09:36:08.111-04:002011-04-05T09:36:08.111-04:00I read yesterday that unemployment for young adult...I read yesterday that unemployment for young adults is around 40% so competition is fierce. I don't have teenagers but would recommend that your two focus on ways they can create their own jobs (like your son's idea of trombone lessons).
