How many money 2000 is varies both by where the person lives and the person and indeed that persons families medical expenses.
I was wondering if the money effectively lent to the learners would be income or a loan.
For practical purposes the money paid to learners bears little resemblance to income. Someone who receives 10K while learning must necessarily pay back at least 12K over 2 years at 40k per year or 18k at 60k per year.
This bears on two matters. Taxes paid and benefits received.
In the first case if the money paid is considered income the user may be paying in effect a substantial fee to the us government to borrow money in the form of income tax.
In the second health care is presently ridiculously expensive and 2K monthly income is just enough in most places to opt the user out of the free medical care that might otherwise render the 2K very livable.
Essentially users who opted to participate in modern labor could find it impossible to pay for medical insurance for any reasonable ammount while "earning" just enough that the state wont pick up the tab either.
Alternatively the user could opt to work 2 full time jobs and face a much higher chance of failure.
