This would make sense. It doesn't cover opportunity cost of a hole on the CV, but at least a fair portion of the money can be returned which is a standard term of service contracts. I know a quant CV writer that specialises in tech and data science. He often offers to delay fees for his CV rewrite until the client completes the desired move especially if the client is unemployed and/or cash poor, for instance.


Another idea would be to do a government sponsored program. I'm not sure how good they are in general but I do know one biostatistician that got into the field using a subsidised MSc.


The cynic inside me says it will never happen. Social change happens when the majority of the population are getting burnt by a problem or a minority gains the majority's sympathy. The majority of the population don't do an MSc or otherwise get burnt by the fees and seem to baselessly assume unemployed MSc students are "too picky", "shirkers" or doing something wrong. And even if such covenants are put in place and even if they are on tangible conditions, like any insurance, there always are ways to not pay the student back as the premise (ie the MSc didn't give them the right exposure) is seen as subjective.
