At the end of the day I think he just wants a good paying stable career. I'm not sure starting salaries or even jobs are that easy to find with engineering. Coming out of respiratory therapy he'd be in the 40+$ range. He loves working with his hands so I thought that'd be a good career but only thing he doesn't like is the lack of career advancement and pay.

It seems to be engineers start lower but their potential to make is alot more?
If he's thinking a medical support field like RT, he should really look at becoming an Ultrasound tech. Likely a similar training program at a tech school, but a starting salary of at least 50% more than what you've quoted for RT. Plus I understand he could probably get one of the local clinics to pay for a large portion of his schooling if he's willing to commit to a return of service contract.
