I think him getting a job is a good idea. I got my first part time job when I was 15. I worked as a cashier at a self serve gas station. I worked there part -time during the school year and full time during the summer (filling in for adult employees who wanted vacation). I did that my last three years of high school and it taught me a lot about responsibility, not to mention letting me save up money for university.

There are lots of jobs teenagers can do.

Hope he has success finding something.
