My boyfriend is 19 years old and looking for a job/career.

Due to health reasons he was unable to work for 2 years and can't find employment, but has been looking.

His interests include:

- Strategy Games (Collectable Card Games)

- Gaming

- Animals

- Movies

- Gaming

Does anyone have any sort of advice on what sort of jobs are available to him and how he would get into those sorts of jobs? (what sort of training would be needed how to get into certain businesses)

Hunting for a job is hard, especially if it's months since you previously did it! I was jobless during the last couple of weeks, but I unearthed the website in the box below which is extremely helpful in a lot of ways. By taking their advice, in a couple of weeks I soon got myself a job.

I would suggest him to speak with say a video game company, or something like that, they pay big bucks sometimes to have people try out games, maybe he could go back to community college hes at the right age, and maybe become an IT, or he could be a Vet, maybe join the military? and have many things payed for including housing. :) Best of luck!

The interests you list are very broad. They can work as a starting point, but he needs to spend some time thinking about what those things mean.

For example, a job involving animals could range anywhere from walking them, boarding them, raising them on farms, becoming a veterinarian, working in a zoo, doing animal research, etc. etc.

There are people in gaming, but they aren't generally gamers per se. They are programmers, designers, artists, marketers, etc.

If he's thinking about retail he could work at a resale store, a movie and game rental business, or a pet products store.

More information about what size city he's looking in and what his longer term direction would be helpful.
