Radical idea: Not everybody, not even a male, necessarily needs a career ( a social identity)in life to complete them. Some simply need a job (service to the hive). Some don't need either!
Their focus may instead be on other life areas, such as relationships/marriage, education, children, religion/philosophy, the home, hobbies and creativity, personal value system, family, humanitarianism, personal exploration, appearance/the body, communication, exploring the unconscious, mysticism, etc.
They may still need to figure out how to survive economically, of course. If they do work, it may be only functional, and their true heart's attention may not be focused in those areas.
Why do you guys always tell the nut cases to join the military? If his behaviors are accurately presented he wouldn't get past the psych evals, which would create another self worth crisis within his psyche.
Because s/he doesn't sound like a nut case. He sounds like an immature kid of whom nothing has been demanded or expected, and who is simply floating through life. If he's sane enough to get a philosophy degree, he's sane enough to get into boot camp.

My experience with Philosophy majors is that they're all a bit "off".
Meh. I didn't see anything in there but arguments any student who took philosophy 101 could have trotted out, along with a claim of having been robbed at gunpoint, followed by the standard "you weren't there, you don't know". I didn't see anything that contradicts the view that he's an immature, directionless kid living off other people's generosity and goodwill.
You know there are philosophy degree holders lurking about who should take offense and this line of posts, but won't. This is because they know better.
Yes. Please, if you feel massive swings in mood and energy, see a therapist and try to get a good bead on your mental health.
