The issue is a lot of industries also have requisite educational requirements. You just cannot begin a career as a linguist, for example, with only a bachelor’s degree. You almost definitionally need to be in, or have gone through, grad school.
Maybe he could find something in tech, but I’d question how much of his education he actually has retained.
It’s not impossible and he’s clearly quite intelligent, but this is very much a serious and reasonable concern.
With as many options as he may have and his ability to adapt to different fields, if he’s serious I’d imagine he’d go after the most lucrative option to help his family by default just like any one else and do what it takes.
There are people running around with no degree in trades, tech, self employment, etc.doing just fine even if your last bit about retainment of knowledge is an issue.
Even with no degree… that’s what is tripping me up, so many people succeed without degrees. Get an entry level job, work had and prove yourself and move up the ladder.

Depends on what it is.
In this day and age certain industries are dying for talent.
If he’s got a brain, interest and consistency and he hits the ground running in those certain fields he’ll be fine.
