It sounds like he has somewhat boxed himself into a corner via his choice to live in a small town where his skill set may not be in much demand.

I can understand why he doesn’t want to live in the Phoenix area, but I have estimated there must be a thousand places that repair or maintain helicopters. The town where he lives actually has a base for firefighting aircraft, but they won’t pay him what he wants.

The new generation has a lot of answers I don’t understand.

Of course any of these places will pay him more than he gets hanging around the house! Mr. Green

You are correct, but in his case, I would confidently say that his skills as a helicopter mechanic are far more valuable than someone who cleans hotel rooms or flips burgers. It sounds like he has somewhat boxed himself into a corner via his choice to live in a small town where his skill set may not be in much demand. If he chose to live in a bigger city ... or within reasonable commuting distance of a bigger city ... then I would think his opportunities for higher paying jobs would drastically increase. But, I realize I'm not telling you anything you don't already know ... and what you may have already conveyed to your nephew.
