Umm sounds like you’re dating him? Education differences? This is something only women care about.

Try to get your friend into a new hobby, activity, or something where he can kind of settle into and become a passion of his.

He sounds a little lost and the lack of confidence may be due to lack of meaning in his life. I'm not saying to throw him into the loop of dating but get him into hobbies, get him in the gym, and work out with him. Get him into some kind of contact sport (football, boxing, martial arts) to where he can work towards something.

As far as educational differences between you both, it sounds like he's trying to compete with you - this is normal in friendships and just work environment wise. Tell him that if he wants to get educated to apply to a program - I'd suggest some form of blue collar work. Something that isn't getting quota'd to death where he'll get picked over some alphabet person rather than merit.

You can only guide him, you can't do the work for him and through the struggles and failures, he should find his foothold as well as gain more confidence in himself. I think keeping him busy with activities to find something he's passionate about will help build his confidence.

He just needs to understand that failure is the part of growing.
