How to stop my brother from turning neet?

He sounds pretty dumb. If he doesn't have a job, how does he pay for anything? Does he have the self respect to pay his own bills for his own home and well-being? If not, let him live his own life as a loser. If he wants to be self-sufficient, he'll figure out soon enough that he needs a job. If you need a job, you'll take what you can get. If it's not his dream job of paying whatever salary he thinks he's entitled to, he'll just have to accept it or be a bitch and whine about it. Respectable, self-sufficient adults don't just wake up one day with a high-salary job, a two-story house, two cars, and a retirement fund. You have to start somewhere and work your way through a career, and then maybe by the time you're about 40 years old you'll be able to look at your home and family and think, "I've don't pretty well for myself."

>but the problem is that he always gets pissy when asked about specifics of his job hunting.

The problem is you're a nagging cunt.

Nagging does not help.

Telling yourself you're not a nagger does not help.

You already explained to your own damn self why your bro is unemployed.

Some of it is his fault, some of it is not.

You could have slapped him on the back of the head when he was picking a shit major, but you saved all that up so you could point at him and call yourself superior down the road. Fuck you, eat shit. You're not a coach to him and you're not seeking advice, you're just seeking attention and approval for your own shittiness.

>and unemployment around there is gigantic

Figure him out how to line up employment in another state with no reachable references. While you're at it, do that for me too because all my former bosses went bankrupt and disappeared.

That's what baby boomers have been saying throughout the entire reign of baby boomers. We call it the entry level. Boomers destroyed the entry level because they are addicted to failure and criticism.

I hop from one industry to another with every job I take, but I think I've only taken one entry level job in my life and it was a long damn time ago when I was in college. Since then I've not had one, not interviewed for one, and not even been able to apply for one because the supply of able bodies far outpaces the demand for them. Whenever I get hired, it's usually for a job of considerable skill which I have to learn as I go. I've been a graphic designer, a warehouser dealing with plant managers, a lawshit of some sort, a music teacher, a farmer, a brewer, and a public stage speaker who shook hundreds of hands in a night. Whenever I was turned down, the reason was usually because I wasn't already doing that job before - then the opening would sit vacant until the asker goes out of business.

The entry level is more myth than reality now. Today's version of the entry level is working for free and not moving your career an inch forward for it.

We must live in very different economies. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
>find job opening
>apply for job
>make good impression on interview
>get hired
>make good impression on employers
>get promotions

That's what I've been doing my life, I'll be 35 this year, I have had four jobs in my life (I'm counting US Army as one job, even though I had many different responsibilities there), I've had a five-year unemployment period after I was out of the Army, and I have my house and car completely paid for, no debt except phone, utility, and internet bills, thousands of dollars in the bank. My only fuckup is that I didn't start saving for retirement early, I just started my 401k this year. I wish I'd started 15 years ago.

Count your blessings instead of shitting up the internet.

>find job opening
This is the part where your plan dies in my region. I ain't even gonna say where, because it breaks my fucking heart when people say they're coming here and I can't talk them out of it. I'm only still here because getting hired long distance is easier said than done when your recent employers cannot be contacted whatsoever - even if it's a lawyer with a client calling from jail being detained under false pretenses.

>(I'm counting US Army as one job, even though I had many different responsibilities there)
Army is a very good choice, but nations go to complete shit when military service is offered up as a way out of the hole.

Long story short, the private sector is dead in many parts. Whatever the fuck you do, do not ask vagrants to become soldiers no matter how much money Uncle Sam offers you. Real soldiers will suffer greatly as a result, just adding that in off-topic because it matters.
