your parents will respond favourably to ernest effort. Speaking as a parent of a 20 year old, this is key. There's nothing that is more dispiriting than providing all the breaks for one's son, and observing an entitled approach to life. In my case, after serveral months of my son spending more time playing call of duty, than job hunting, I started a $400/month room & board charge to kick start him. Unbeknownst to him, this is going into a savings plan for him, to feed back into university next January when/if he gets accepted back into his programme. Meanwhile, I need him to realize that life is not always easy, and to feel some urgency. I want him to be self sufficient, and to take that job at Home Depot, or Starbucks if it's offered, or at least apply there.
Sometimes opportunity will come knocking, but it seems that it happens when you are busy. Like it was said ealier, I'd rather be working minimum wage and chipping away at debt, than not.
Remember, pessimism will get the better of you if you are inactive or lethargic. go out there and prove to your parents that you are engaged in your search.
