At least, this is how it is in the Netherlands at the moment... the only thing I can say is good luck, because there's not a lot I could do to help.

Thanks and to you too. He would have no problem with entry level salary. He has been making $9.50 an hour doing temp work. His old job was about $15 an hour. So most jobs around here pay $10hr so he has been putting that when asked about wages. In Raleigh he was making $13hr on same jobs here that pay $8.50-9.50. Cost of living is about the same but the Electric rates here is really high in the summer. The rates like triple So instead of paying $50 for a 400sq foot apartment with only a 8000BTU window air conditioner you pay $150 in the summer. It's crazy.
He got a call about a state job so he has to call them tomorrow. This means he made it to interview stage. Things are looking up.
