My son has been through voc rehab twice. The first time I thought their services were great. He still wasn't able to maintain employment. The second time it wasn't so great. What frustrated me was that they seemed to be pushing him to apply for jobs which were patently unsuited for him.

Ideal situation would be maybe half-time, low stress, with a few "safe" (i.e., emotionally mature) people that he has contact with. The jobs they were suggesting were so inappropriate. One job they wanted him to apply for was 'crowd control.' There is no way on God's green earth that my son can deal with argumentative people and belligerant drunks. I don't know what they're thinking.

I do wish he'd look into something like that. If he were, for example, selling on ebay or some site like that, he could 'close the store' when things weren't going well and go live again when he was feeling better. The problem with relying on sites like that is that they sometimes change their fees or policies without warning. You could have a good little thing going, and suddenly find it worthless.
