My brother is 30 years old, still lives at home, unemployed, with no motivation!!

So my brother is 30 years old, still lives at home, he's unemployed, and no motivation to find work.

He just has no motivation to do anything. I can't see him doing anything with his life at this point. He has a degree in bio-chemical science (I think it's called), but he tried looking for work when he was younger, but was unfortunate. He says he's looking for work, but he hasn't been for a single interview. And he just doesn't leave the house at all! He will sit in his room reading, coming out for food, then he will go on the computer for a little while, then watch t.v. then go back to his room. And if we have guests or family around, he will hide away in his bedroom and not come downstairs to say hello.

What advice can you give? I think my mum is losing her patience with him, and I'm getting frustrated because I seem to be the only 1 providing financial assistance to my parents. And my other brother (who's 27) has been unemployed, but he's found work now so he's helping out a little with bills too.

your opinions on my eldest brother? I am 23, but my eldest bro is 30 and should be setting an example, but instead I'm the one having to help out the family.

Bio-medical sciences? Must be a pretty intelligent guy, does he not have any experience in anything?

Not even kidding, I'm in the EXACT same situation. I'm 23, my brothers 25 and has no degree or any qualifications, he sits in his room all day on the pc with the curtains shut and never leaves the house. My mum works at tesco (so doesnt earn that much) and is having to pay off his (many) debts while he sits and does nothing, it really infuriates me. Have you found a solution to your problem yet, OP?

Yeah, he did that degree about 10 years ago. He is intelligent, but he's not motivated to find work or even leave the house. He went to USA when he was younger, after he got the degree, to look for work. He was unsuccessful with that, and employers were telling him that he was over qualified, but that can't be the case now. Well he hasn't had a job for a good couple years, maybe more.

He is probably depressed

Depression can be an effect as well as a cause, he will feel low if he has no structure to his life! Someone told me that in parts of africa depression was almost unheard of, people were too busy looking for their next meal.
