Get him to move to the Netherlands. Actually heard on the news there was a chronic lack of truck drivers, and they get paid a lot.
I'd not want to be a truck driver even if I got paid in solid gold, but still.

That's our goal in general Nouse. He needs his class one licence and so much cash. $10000cad or so. I've offered to lend him the money to get his class one. But he's too proud for that.

I'm starting on my truck drivers license in August, and when I get it, I can get a fulltime job the same day I get my license. And I'm 18 years old.
No need for any other experience than to know how to drive a truck and you need a legal truck drivers license.
The monthly pay is ~1500-3500gbp +/-
I hate you.

On the philosophical side of things, I'm forced to conclude that everyone can either bitch and moan about how unfair the system is; or they can try and make their own future. The latter sometimes requires mroe guts than people have. It might require you to work a shitty job for a year or more; but if you get your head out of your ass - you might actually get somewhere.
There's an ongoing discussion here in sweden: should people take jobs that they don't like, or wait for an opportunity. Since there's a discussion, I summize that the question is subjective. In my opinion, however, anyone who's getting money for doing nothing (save for disabled, students, etc) is a deadbeat and should be shot in the foot if they want to qualify for the disability checks.
