Depending on his writing and communication skills and interest in supporting education/the arts/the non-profit sector, he might also investigate development work (i.e., fund raising). During my (long) time to a PhD in the humanities I have worked as a grant writer (free lance and on staff) and as a development officer for cultural organizations and universities in a major metropolitan area. The work is reasonably fulfilling (if I do not find a teaching position upon completion of my degree I will stay in this line of work, as I get to work with interesting scholarly and creative professionals and use writing and research skills), demand is high (which means both mobility and the possibility of rapid advancement), and pay is better than it is in the university classroom or for common alternatives in my field.
