questioner asked:

My uncle is an unemployed executive. He was making $160K a year as a IT Executive and he was laid off from his job at the Large Software company he worked at. NOw he has been unemployed for a long time beause in today’s job market and terrible economy, he finds that most jobs in his field are designed for entry and mid level workers who want less money. Because he is so desperate he would work for less money in a lower level job but he is told no because the employers assume he would be bored and not able to deal with less money. He is told that he would leave the job as soon as he finds something closer to the work he did before. But he tells them those type of jobs do not exist anymore and he wants to scale down. No one believes him. What to do?
