If he does want to go to school, it would be best for him to go to the closest state college rather than one of the for-profit universities. The for-profit outfits are very expensive and will not receive much respect from HR and recruiters. They promise big things, but they mostly have abysmal rates of loan repayments because they just don't deliver. Either way, if he's going to school for career advancement, he may be disappointed, however, if it's a goal he wants to achieve on it's own, more power to him.
