so i took in a street kid i know need advice
as subj says i took in a street kid (19yrs old) ive known for a few years.
a little background... hes a hard worker shows up on time as hes helped me with some odd jobs over the years like moving etc he is not on drugs besides a little social pot and beer which is fine imo especially at 19yrs. his family is a bunch of low life petty criminals and food stampers so hes decided to try and get away from that so living on his own and struggling a lot to not be homeless. hes had a few minimum wage jobs around my neighborhood over the years and his last boss (restaurant owner) was a bit of a jerk and a hot head and fired him hired him fired him hired him... so one time he was fired i saw him wearing a chicken suit at another place (lol) one day and was like forget this its a waste of time i can hire you and train you and put you on a better path. so now he starting in a few days ... im looking for something EASY he can be trained on and repeat that will actually make some $$$ so i can rationalize to pay him on a regular basis. any suggestions? |
Don't have sex with him...
Oh an make sure you take pictures of anything expensive you have in the house, your insurance company will need that when you mysteriously get robbed in a few weeks time... |
good on you..
what about small grunt jobs with local companies? video editing etc? Quote:

exactly what i was going to say. but if you have to, i'd say keep him outdoors, away from everything, pulling weeds or digging a hole. who cares if you don't need the hole. |

anyways i have a separate office , i dont work in my house. |

Wish you the best of luck in your endeavors with your new street urchin though, hopefully it works out for you. |

i have my own sites so looking for something he can do to help with that but has to be simple hes got ZERO experience so not sure where to start honestly. i have some odd job around he can help with but looking for something he can do to actually make a few $$ to offset what im paying on a monthly basis. |
On the bright side (for the kid) he knows where you live and where you work, he can tell his buddies to rob your home while you are at work and then, once you realize you've been robbed and are dealing with that, he'll be able to tell them to stop by your office for the double-whammy :D
|
been there, done that.
i would also not let him see you not working, enjoying the fruits of your work, doing easier/funner work, etc. obviously the kid is 19 and perfectly capable of getting a job on his own, so you are going out of your way to set this kid up, he's going to know that and there's no reason not to cya. |
As a side note, if you feel like you truly want to give him a chance, start him off with something he cant really fuck up, sorting content... Will let you see how well he works and can help you out in the process by making sure you have everything in order :)

you obviously have a pre conceived notion of what a street kid is. np. |
ok people let me make this clear.
your skepticism is justified BUT im not a moron. HES HAD A STEADY/BUT MIN WAGE JOB AS LONG AS IVE KNOWN HIM, THATS HOW I KNOW HIM HES WORKED FOR ME ON ODD JOBS OVER PAST YEARS AND ALWAYS BUSTED HIS ASS ABOVE AND BEYOND (call me crazy but that speaks to me) HES NOT A DUMMY SO I DECIDED TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO MAKE A CHANGE ... please leave the hes gonnna steal your shit crap alone...besides that if he did he know i would break his knees! |
this thread brings back some memories, ahh!
i've done this 2x. both ended poorly/shit got jacked. the last time, the kid *borrowed* my company ping pong table for a beer pong get-together he and his stoner friends were having that weekend....dude just had his friends pull up to my offices and throw it in their vehicle when he left work for the weekend. the table was beat to shit when i had to go get it back myself. |
get him writing and making fitness blogs, i will have something for it soon :)
|
He will steal from you.
|
Good on ya I say, fair play! :thumbsup

ill look around for work, there an email we can use to contact? |
Get him a small apartment and set up a shell corporation in his name selling 2013 BMWs on Ebay for Buy it Now $12,000. Rinse and repeat.
http://cdn.stripersonline.com/e/e3/e..._is_gay02.jpeg If you REALLY care, set him up with the proper resources. Don't get the fuck involved in adult. Seriously? This is a choice we all made, not one forced upon us to get out of a minimum wage job because some creepy bumfucker shows up and says, "Start looking at porn all day and I can make you money..." Fucking creep. Hook him up with unemployment or as around to some of your non-scumbag, non-pornographer friends that are looking for an honest and reliable person that will work hard for decent money. Sounds to me like you are looking to create a fucking slave out of somebody that is down and out. Candy coat it all you want, that's what you sound like. Idiot. :2 cents: |

i lold at your pic.... is this you? did the steroids eat your neck and hair? |
If nobody had given me a change when I was 19 I'd still be a stealing, robbing, worthless peace of shit.. And then somebody gave me a change. Somebody trusted me.. I never broke that trust and learned a lot. That's the reason i'm still here... :thumbsup
But then... Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air In West Philadelphia born and raised On the playground where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing or coolin' or shooting some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys, they were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air" |

typical gfy. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh pretending like you are coming here for advices. either way, i was serious. people need to crawl before they walk, walk before they run. this stoner can't even keep a piece of shit job and your thinking it's gonna be a win-win for him and a porner taking him in. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh again, i'm serious, have him dig a fucking hole and watch what happens. there's a reason movies like karate kid ring true for people, maybe you should watch that for where to start on saving street stoners. |
id start him posting to TGPs
teach him to create the galleries using a gallery maker or whatever and submit them. from there maybe simple video editing and mgp posts or tubes if you use them |

Okay if he needs immediate work why not help him to setup a website offering services such as mowing grass, pulling weeds, lawn maintenance, pool cleaning, car washing, pet sitting, dog walking etc...help him advertise it so he learns to build a business for himself.
Right now is summer so all of those are things that people are looking for. If someone is in dire need of food, shelter, clothing etc they will take any job they can to ensure they have that. That is how you teach him real responsibility. Good luck. |

hes not a street kid as in your pic.. he had a job albeit a shitty one and a place to stay but @ 19 and no skills or family to rely on hes always 1 step from not having a place to stay. |

For now, as well as his future. |

We registered the domain, did the design even had some signage printed up so once he finished a customers yard he could pop a sign on the front of their house with his site and number on it... Give a guy a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach him how to fish, he'll eat for the rest of his life. |

the kid hasn't even shown an ability to do those things like mow a lawn. the guy can't even keep a chicken costume gig. and i wou;dn't get involved in setting-up an opportunity for this kid to pet sit people's pets. |
Quote:
j/k though, maybe get him to blog. |

Get him on admin tasks and teach him how to use the MS Office stuff so he has basic transferable skills.
Then, start writing the screenplay so you can sell it when he is a millionaire. |
Picking out images, writing descriptions (a fresh, young guy who looks at porn is perfect for this), meta data, signing up for sites (whether that's tube submission, aff programs, etc), uploading tube clips, niche stuff.

Like some others have said, don't give the guy porn work - no way he can use that as a reference plus honestly a large % of what we do doesn't translate directly over to mainstream work.
Talk to your friends & find him a decent manual labor or delivery or light office job, give a good recommendation. Maybe some contractor or landscaper has a grunt-labor position open, tis the season for that kind of thing. |

you know the chicken suit backward ad sign triple swirl? that's my move. i started that move back in the late 70s. proven to get 4x more eyeballs 80% of the time. |
Why don't you teach the kid how to get a real job - cover letters, a decent resume, deportment, etc.
As someone said above, you are probably wasting your time. Your comment about him having a bad boss suggests to me he has a victim mentality. I predict disappointment. |
No good deed goes unpunished.
