Well, if he really is open to your guidance, then have at it!

Regarding an HR degree, I will say that as someone who has worked in HR (and am getting the degree myself from TESC), most companies I've seen don't require an HR degree for an HR job - they just require a business degree. I am getting that because it was actually easier for me to do that then the General Management degree (I already had the classes). So a general business degree is probably just as good as an HR degree, if that is easier to get.

I would encourage anyone working on a degree at his age to take some classes at a regular school, and some online, as I think there is a benefit to both. A lot of business classes are taught by people who have actually worked in business and have some valuable insight to share. And some classes are just more interesting being there face-to-face. So I would pick out a couple here and there and take them on campus, with the rest online however you choose.

Good luck!!
