you study because you want to gain that knowledge.
you work because you can use that knowledge to feed yourself
(and family).
This is life, you need to make use of what you know, use it to
create and add values to other people's life, and earn a living
from it. 
I beg your pardon, this is not life, life cannot be so miserable as
to study and work, life is more than that, he should, first of all,
knows how to enjoy life, sparkle his life by either gaming or
clubbing, game in term of football, badminton, pin pong, pong pin
or whatever, than go clubbing and meet up with more friends,
friends of different circle and trades, do the networking and yet
enjoy life, from there, he can decide what to do, if got into
trouble, he then can contact Helen or Jack for advices, depend on
what types of problem.
Very surprise to see a senior member here advicing people on
work and study only
