>I'm 22 >Brother is 20 >I'm a wageslave with minimum wage office job >brother doesn't do shit and is getting older, no ambition, no drive, nothing, just plays videogames all day and gets his shelter and food from our mother >I'm scared that in a few years he'll be well and truly fucked >talked to him so many times about the importance of getting a job but always falls on deaf ears >He has an anxiety problem and didn't go to school, he has no qualifications >We're poor as fuck living in rural england with barely any jobs going >He isn't depressed or anything, just happy playing games
The only person holding him back is himself.
What do I do? How do I teach him the importance of ambition and skills for a job? How do I make him get an incentive to work?

ask him what he plans on doing when your parents are gone
Justin Walker
I'm in exactly your position op except I'm 19 and my brother is 20. The real question should be why do you care? The only one who can fix him is himself. All I can do is watch him literally fuck his own life up while I'm building my career.

First of all, lead by example. Show him the shit you've got only comes from hard work. Second of all, emphasise the fact in order to succeed, you need to work smart instead of working 'hard'. Tell him you'll lend him some money till his first wage comes in or something. Sounds a bit autismo if you ask me, but nothing that can't be changed.
Luis Watson
Get him into going out to do shit where women are. Long term bad for money but it might drive him to get a job when he realizes he has a better shot at getting laid.
Robert Bell
He'll say something like 'dunno' or make a joke but won't take anything to heart I care because he's my brother, its not about sibling rivalry when it comes to survival I've been doing that for 4 years with many different jobs. I've been at uni for a couple years now and he's enrolled on a certain stay-at-home degree... but I doubt he'll follow it through. He's never had a gf and isn't interested in meeting them because of his anxiety
Luke Williams
I mean, even uni could be an option. That's a way of getting £8200 a year just to study. It'll be especially easy if he applies to a shit rated uni cause he'll get in without quals. It's not about the degree per se as it is about the experience. Sounds like the guy needs to get out of his bubble and in all honesty, even the worst ranked uni here will do at least that for him.
Jaxon Miller
He hasn't got any GCSE's because he didn't go to school
Josiah Young
He literally has no skills or experience, no uni will take him or job for that matter
