<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Over the last couple of months, after he finished his schooling, he's been looking for something that he thought that he wanted to do as a career. Before that he'd never said anything about wanting to be a nurse, but he finally said that it was what he wanted to do. I was suspicious of his decision at first, thinking he'd just chosen something that he thought would be a life-long career, but wasn't actually what he was/is passionate about.

He got his marks back from his HSC (We're in Australia) and they weren't enough to get him into University over here, so he tried for TAFE which is a sort of secondary entrance into Nursing. I'm not 100% sure of the qualifications that it would have given him, but after the TAFE course was finished, he would have moved straight into University as a second year nurse. 

He was into the second round of the TAFE course entrance thing and close to getting into the course, but today was the last test, which they called 'Basic Math', he said most of it wasn't comprehensibly to him, but he was only two points off getting in and was under the cut-off line by as much. 

He called me as soon as he finished and said he'd not gotten in. I said over the phone that just to drive safe and come home.
When he walked in the door we just hugged and I sat down with him after a minute and told him that some things just aren't meant to be and that if it's what he really wants to do then I support him and he can try again next year or when he turns 21, there's a higher chance of him going into Uni as a mature aged student. I told him that there's nothing he can do about it now and that he shouldn't let it get him down too much. I didn't know what else to say.

I suppose the question I'm asking Reddit, is what do you say to someone that you love that you're not sure what they want to do for themselves is the right thing? I know sometimes it's not your place, but is there anything that you should say, or should you just leave it to them?
<bot>: Boyfriend didn't get into the course he wanted to, I don't know what to say and I don't know if it's the right course for him. What would you say?
