I'm so very, very sorry....
I know exactly what you're going through...
And I know that vent, and those frustrations...
My career counselor tells me that for people like Trevor, (and your son), he now suggests that they go to another country to find work. Even to jump probation if they have to!
Yep. There is nothing for them here. With the economy the way it is, and getting worse; their felony status; and the lack of programs available, he tells them that other countries, that are developing in status is the place to go.
Can you imagine! The American Dream is available for everyone *but* for those citizens who have made mistakes. There is nothing for them here.
This man has been doing his job as a career counselor for @ 20 years now. He's seen it all. It's dried up. He said to go to India; the Middle East; China; anywhere where they need people who speak English. They will get a job in a heart beat, and be able to do well.
In another country.
Not in the USA...
It honestly made me sick...
I pray your son is fine, and continues to be ok.
Shalom!
