Well in my head it isn't crazy, you can join the royal military school of Belgium with a high school diploma and get a degree while being paid, fed and hosted. It isn't great fun and they're pretty strict, and you have to serve them for five years (or sometimes more) afterwards, but it's a pretty good deal if you don't want to spend a lot of money on prolonged studies like becoming a surgeon.
