Join the miltary.
Get a skill maybe.
Sow some wild oats, get laid often.
See some of the planet.
Spread some american good will. Hahaha!!!
Grow up and mature some maybe if needed
Take some trade or college stuff while in.
Some of the trade jobs in the military have journeyman equivilant programs transferable to civilian employers.

Get out, go to a trade school or college again.
Or tansistion right into a job he has gained skill in
Use vet / gi bill stuff

Or stay in the military.



Everyone is different.
Let him find himself into something he wants to do.
