11. Go Navy

World travel (snicker). Suggest him to go for something like aviation mechanics or electronics technician. Navy ships are self-contained multi weapons platform. Every system has a civilian use. Each ship has a high voltage electrical system, cutting edge electronics that need maintenance (maintenance is pretty much the Navy's mantra), diagnosis and repair. Aviation mechanics are set for life when it comes to a trade that will allow someone to work anywhere in the world. One hitch will get you in the door. Who knows, may it will be his first career, and double dip by putting another 20, and retiring with both a work and military pension. They are very secure upon retirement.

My two cents.
