This reminds me of what happened during the fracking boom in North Dakota. Students in school who were learning how to drive or repair trucks would complete about half the course, and then leave because the pay was phenomenal.

He gets a major pay raise while still retaining his scholastic position which he can fall back on in case his private sector job goes kaput.
