My brother fail out of college, can't hold down a job, has a slight criminal record, and kind of a loser in a sense. He expects our parents to pay for his things, like dinners, rent. He has been kick out of my father's home, and now plans on moving with me. I also given him money countless of times in the past (over 3k in total he still owes me). The money is very tight at my place, but I don't see any ambition for him to get a job, and he kind of expects me to fill out his job applications. He's not really an entrepreneur, more of a talker but no action, so if I were to give him this book he probably won't even read it. He has a mentality of a 9th grader in all honesty (still talks about high school too). He's 20 years old.
My family wants him to continue with college, but in all honesty.... I can see the signs, he is not going to finish college. I honestly don't think he has the intelligence to finish it, since he can't even handle Intermediate Algebra after taking it countless of times. But I see no effort either. I don't know what to recommend him. He's not military material either, since he just quits on everything. 1. What should I suggest him to do with his life?
First, I want him to move in with me if he can help me with my business, since I can't be at my house all the time. I know his track record, so it won't surprise me if he screws things up either though. (my business is pretty simple; it's just making sure to measure things/check temperatures... things a grocery clerk could do) and maybe feed my dog when I'm gone.
But if he can't do that, then he's pretty much going to mooch off my electricity/water bill, and possibly ask money from me which I cannot do.
He has no where to turn though... I don't want to carry dead weight either, and take care of an adult man. I don't want him on the streets.
anyone dealt with this situation?
