I am a 19 yr old man(am i old enough to called a man? :| ) here in Qatar living with my father and two older sisters. I just graduated from college and have only been here in Qatar for about a month or so. My sisters and my dad have jobs here and i feel like i'm being a bum staying at home. I tried applying for jobs but I guess I'm too young to work (I hope not.). What should I do?? :| should I wait till I can get a job or is there even a possibility for me to even get a job here or should i just go back to school here, get some crash course or something just to find something to do?? :( any suggestions???

start learning arabic, take driving licence.. and mean while search a job, you can even apply to police, army. after age of 18 your eligible...

but the better things are licence, and arabic. and better to study more.. thats a best option..

19 yrs is not the age to work especially when all in others are working and bringing money home..everyone wants to have a great job and a good life ahead, for that you have to put in some efforts in your studies / courses etc. you have people to pay for your studies, so why settle for less in life?

it will keep you buy for a while. Then be your sisters driver for a while if you can't still find a work. Even an apprentice job in your father or sisters' place of work, just to earn even something for your personal expenses,or gained experience. Anything to make your IT knowledge grow a littel everyday!

If you do not know arabic, join some classes.... It will help u for sure not just to get a job but to interact with the locals here.... and also with the cops just in case u get into trouble....
