Dear Runningwithcats:

I don’t know what the specific field is. You wrote that he likes working with kids; working in a public school (teacher, assistant, one-to-one with special ed students and such) can provide him maximum stability since public schools are funded by tax money.

As he looks for work in his preferred field, he should research (and predict) their financial stability before accepting a job, so not to put himself in the same position again. If he cannot find predictable stable job in his preferred field- then changing direction to another field with way better stability chances makes a lot of sense.
