Why don't he spend money on starting a new business or shop even. That would pay his expenses and even he can be successful too. Instead of perusing a PHD for no fucking reason. My brother did college and he didn't get a proper job for his degree. He started his own restaurant business with some money from our father. He is successful now.

College is the most useless thing unless you plan to become a literal doctor or scientist. If you're going to college for anything else good fucking luck

Yes. That is the point. The only thing most colleges do is make more college teachers. And debt. It is a taxpayer funded pyramid scheme.

well true but he would also be continuing research so it's not a complete self-contained system. Also that's not only the case for social sciences. A phd in theoretical mathematics will probably also lead to a position as a professor of mathematics at a university (or a taxi driver).

PhD is a paid position. You don’t pay to do it.

Why not do some research prior to choosing what to study if there are possible vacant positions?
