My 16-year-old keeps saying he wants “this” type of a job, or doesn’t want “that” kind, and I say, “Bill, you want a job with pay!”

If he doesn’t appear ready to “launch” in a reasonable period, I’ll move another brother into his room ... either the crazy one or the destructive one ...

Perhaps it's good to:
  1. Make kids get small jobs (not to pay them for errands which they should be doing in any case)
  2. Make them invest this in the stock market and play with the numbers, but limited.
  3. Learn a couple of languages and maybe give tuitions
