A reader wonders how to get their daughter to find employment, any employment,

Every week a Guardian cash reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question:

My 23-year-old daughter has been back at home since leaving college a year ago and can’t find a “graduate” job. I feel she’s becoming depressed, and is difficult to live with. I’ve suggested she get any job, even stacking shelves. How do other parents deal with this problem?

What are your thoughts?
