Hmm, actually, he can try going back to studies... 1 of my frens
had an N Level cert too, but he went to Oz, did some studying @
TAFE (sorta like a poly, but less strict), & he did v. well
there. Eventually he graduated.
So, Not all is lost. Tok to him abt ur worries, & try to
discuss wif him plans & alternatives : )
