You're right that the employed maybe homeless, ie. sleeping /camping in their car. Which I did notice when I would walk to the transit rail station in Vancouver and saw same car in 5:30 am with same person just sitting there. Car was abit old, but ok looking.
Glad your ex-brother in law has a home for now, goldfinch and that he's making productive use of time. Important for mental health.
It amuses me in a dark way, to read magazine articles about leaving a job one doesn't like to find something more satisfying by being self-employed or finding another job. I don't think it's that easy as it's made to be in the glossy magazines. That has not been my experience --at all.
I guess-- if one is in their 20's or if one is highly mobile to travel across the country to accept that job offer.
Being self-employed or seeing someone start up their own business, is alot of hard work and networking. There are times of feast and near famine depending on the type of biz.
The value of a job counsellor is provide some tools and structure for people who need practical support and ongoing motivation/perseverance. I have nothing but good things to say of my experiences since they offered valuable, practical advice. And I needed it ..no matter how experienced/well-educated I was.
