Pilot career related degree and appropriate college and/or university

Hi all,

Need an advise for my son. He wants to be an airline pilot. Good. Now we have to think wider: what to do if one day he is not medicaly fit to fly any more or cannot continue flying for whatever other reason. So we are looking for an idea about a college or university course that 1. Helps him to get a job as a pilot. 2. Helps him in his pilot carreer. 3. Backs him up if he is not able to continue as a pilot at some moment in future. 4. Allows him to built up experience for the new job while flying.
Could be too much to ask for, but why not? The only qualification that jumps to my mind and meets all the above criteria, is air crash investigation. And the place is Embry Riddle. That is with my limited knowledge of western educatuon system.
Appreciate other ideas, gentlemen.
Specifically looking for canadian options. If not, then anywhere.
