I would also have him meet with a counselor to discuss what minor degree would benefit him best as an "as-is" degree, versus what degrees will require going to the "next level" to make something of it.
For example- like the psychology degree, I got a degree in biology (as a major), which without a lot of graduate/doctorate level stuff afterwards, was about as worthless as an underwater basket weaving degree.
I've had several friends with degrees in music, english, and philosophy who paired those degrees with degrees in education, and have gone onto good lives in academia and such. All of them, however, did have to go onto graduate/ post graduate education.
I graduated from college about 25 years ago. Even then, it seemed like everything had jumped up a level in competition. What was a college degree, was more like a high school degree. What was a graduate degree was more like a college degree, etc... etc...
Even if he gets the business minor, he will be competing against business majors. Same goes for pre-law or pre-med for that matter.
Good luck.
