I didn't know what I wanted to do when I was 18 and didn't go to university and pick a career path until I was 27. Not that I recommend procrastinating for that long, if I could go back again, I'd probably try to be quicker about it, but I think it can be a good thing to take a little bit of time to figure it out instead of taking the wrong path early.
He can consider taking some community college courses just to dip his toe into things. Not like committing to a full program, but just some one off classes. That's what I did and it helped me decide. Plus some of the credits ended up transferring to university.
