He probably has high school and that's it. Making even the AHL salary will be tough for him to attain in the normal world starting from zero in this economy.
If he hasn't already, he should get some guidance. Sounds like he is getting bad advice now.

even a 3 year entry deal doesn't guarantee he gets paid in the NHL. At the AHL level he would get maybe $70,000 a year. Does $4500 (taking into account taxes) a month doing something he isn't passionate about risking significant injury every time he steps onto the ice seem worth it? I know some people with Junior high education who make more than that and don't risk as much.
