    Could you get him to do some volunteer work to try & nudge him gently into the big wide world? Or could you find some odd jobs around the house - like clean the guttering, etc... that he can do to 1) get him out your hair a bit & 2) to try teach him the workings of maintaining a home??

    Is there anything he's particularly interested in that he could study? Like maybe welding, woodworking, etc...?

    Stop babying him and tell him he needs to be studying, working or actively looking for work while he is living under your roof? Give him a heap of not-fun jobs so he is keen to get out of the house and get a job?

    Firstly, You are doing such a wonderful thing

    I have no real advice, but I would look into job networks and stuff, maybe they can help?
    The problem is *these* days kids seem to expect to start at the top, regardless, which makes helping them hard.
    Do you know anyone who could take him on as like a junior? Voulenteering?
    Umm is he wanting to study? Get a career?

    Good luck xo
