How do I get my son to get a job?

Stop Paying for his/her stuff, Phone Bills and gas and things like this add up an put unwanted Stress on Parents and Guardians. Older Children Need to know the value of money and if its willingly handed to them then it has no perceivable monetary worth. Having a job also has the added benefit of personal growth and self worth which you cant put a price on, unlike that new I-phone they keep pestering you for.

Explain to him the importance of being independent, then suggest jobs he may enjoy based on his interests. For example, if he has a particular interest in animals then you could suggest he apply to work at a local pet store.

You should try to present him with reasons that suit his wishes. Often times parents demand their children to do something and the reasons are one's that suit themselves but they forget that the best way to get anyone to do something is by letting them see why they will benefit from it. Maybe you should talk to him and conclude on something that makes him realise the importance of a job in his life.

Ask him what he's interested in. Talk to him and guide him through the path that he wants as his career

While you may need to feel you have an obligation as a parent to help your children in certain ways, but finding a job should not necessarily one of them. Having your son find a job on his own can help him to develop certain skills in life such as resume writing and people skills while searching. It doesn't mean that you cannot help or lend a helping hand. You as a parent could help with directing them where they can search if you have a lead, or helping to take the time to show them how to start writing their own resume. You can help by being there if they need a ride to interviews or if they just need support. In the end, you as a parent shouldn't be responsible for helping to get the job, but you can always help by being the support they need while getting there.

You can't get your son a job, he needs to get a job. If he's in college, help him find something that pertains to his current studies and accepts college students, if he's in high school then try to help him get a job somewhere at a fast food restaurant, or anything else that allows high scholars.

You can reward him with an extra thing when he gets a job and when he keeps it like go a day out with him to a park or something or to a concert or whatever he likes :)

Make your son understand why you would like him to have a job and what are the benefits to him. Best to sit him down and talk to him find out why is he procrastinating to get a job and what is stopping him.
