My wife's siblings have done well for the most part, but they work at it. A couple are/were self-employed. My younger bro-in-law had a little motorcycle repair shop. We got him into the U.S. where for years he was a cook at a Thai restaurant. Last year he wandered into a Honda motorcycle dealership and walked out with a job. He's now their most experienced mechanic except for the computer diagnostics.
(Disclaimer: I don't get paid for this endorsement. But he does fix our cars, mows the lawn, cleans the gutters, rakes leaves and trims trees for free. Nice "kid" - I've known him since he was about 12 years old. )
