Hate to break it to you and your brother but you don't start out in life as a CEO, or making an instant million. You have to work your way up......and that usually means starting out with minimum wage jobs, gaining experience, then having that experience to bring to a better paying job. There's many people out there in their 30s and 40s who are working for minimum wage - why should a 22 yr old "expect" to make more right off the bat?
But maybe the issue here is that he needs some coaching with doing well at interviews - as you indicated that he has difficult with them, due to shyness. I'm almost positive that places like the UI (Manpower, Employment Insurance) office would offer workshops on how to excel at an interview.
And that's nice of you to help him find a job but if he thinks he deserves a $10 an hour job, maybe he needs to show some incentive and take the initiative himself to find a job - versus you helping him....what's that going to teach him?
There's tons of job search engines out there, for jobs in Canada, Alberta, Calgary...many list the starting wage. The opportunities for a young guy are numerous....from construction to the oilpatch .....I think even clerks at Safeway and Co-op pay pretty well......
Highered, hey? (laughing)

quoting: Veronica
Anyone else out there pregnant with nothing to do but sit around the house and stare at the same hideous walls all day? I swear I'm going nuts!!
if you're only 3 months pregnant, why are you sitting at home staring at the same hideous walls all day? there's a million things a person could do: read, write, clean, tidy, cook, try new recipes, do crafts, visit a friend, decorate your nursery, knit, take a drive, visit lonely seniors in a home, volunteer, offer to help a friend do something, take a class, take up a hobby, create a homepage, take a friend for lunch, go shopping, go for a walk, invite family over, write poetry - the possibilities are endless - if you're motivated.
