Q: What careers are available for men with Kyphosis

My son suffered with cancer at the age of 6, Rhabdomyosarcoma of the liver. His treatments included chemotherapy and Radiation. About 2 years after the end of the treatments, he began to develope Kyphosis.We did take him to an Orthopedic surgeon who suggested ,that if not painful, to leave it alone. Now, at the age of 23, he is having difficulty in finding employment that is not hurting his back. Other than becoming a doctor, lawyer (which takes a lot funds)etc. what would good career choices be for him? At this time, what kind of surgery or treatment is there to get him to work at what he enjoys(Carpentry, framing etc)?
