Building a business is where most people make real wealth.
You don't need any college to do it as there is actually a negative education coefficient to business success.
The people with the most education are the least likely to succeed in building a business. Yes there are exceptions. But, education - including business school - is all about teaching you how to be an EMPLOYEE, and jobs are not set up for your success - they are set up for the companies success. Business managers may make good money; but nothing like the owners do. It takes a different kind of education to be a business owner (and I've never met a business school professor who ever started a successful business, and most have never even tried: They have no clue what it takes).
Tell him to start a business if he really wants the highest chance and real money, wealth, and impact.
Tell him to invest 3-5 years into that with the same amount of effort (or more effort) than going to college.
Becoming an entrepreneur means becoming a student of business and of self improvement.
There are organizations out there which will assist and guide.
I suggest both of you read: "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy. That is a book about the basics of how to become successful at anything.
Then I suggest you read: "The Business of the 21'st Century" to give you an idea of the pro's and con's of the different business structures.
If you like that and want more information I suggest: "Go Pro" by Eric Whorre.
There is no reason why your brother (or a son or daughter) cannot actually be, or be solidly on their way, to $millionaire status by the time the people who would be their classmates are graduating from College with $80,000+ in debt.
Of course; being an entrepreneur is not for everyone.
