Most people will never abandon their job for 5 years of guaranteed income, even if they hate their job.

What happens after the money ends? They have to re-train, search for a job, apply, interview, explain a 5 years gap, climb the office/workshop ladder from the bottom again...

Situation changes radically if the income is guaranteed for life, if they are guaranteed to never have the necessity to work again.

Since a study limited to 5 years can't, by design, satisfy this last condition, it won't be significant at predicting how many people will leave a "hard" job.

Perhaps, when no longer totally living hand-to-mouth, during those 5 years they can e.g. take evening classes and eventually qualify for a better job.

or they'll use the five years to retrain, start their own business, and if doesn't pans out, it's an easily explained gap with valuable experience
