Dear Laine,

My 27 year old boyfriend never worked a real job in his life and is lying to me about looking for a job.

He has a Bachelor's degree in economics. Would anyone hire him at his age without any previous experience? I really want him to have a job before our wedding next month. How can I help him find one?

Dear Anxious,

He is lying to you about looking for a job and you want to know if a company would hire him with no experience?? Do you see the quantum leap over a very important detail there?? WHY would you want to be with someone who lies to you about something like that? My gramma always said 'if he'll lie about one thing, he'll lie about everything!" And "you can lock up from a thief, but you can't lock up from a liar, so avoid those!"

If you know he is lying, he is not only LAZY but dishonest. If he does manage to get a job (never know, one might just land in his lap while he's playing xbox) I would doubt he would be able to keep it for long.

Be really REALLY sure before you invest too much on this one. Sounds like a loser to me. If you don't believe me, ask your mom or any older female relative. If they tell you to hook your wagon to that pony I'll give up chocolate for a month!!

Not worried about my chocolate,
Laine
