Really it sounds reasonable to me.
The money could be but into a joint intrest bearing trust account with the
necessary contingencies.
The apprentice system is an oppertunity to work for a master and as such has
great oppertunity to learn instead of wander.
Bob is offering to pay wages during this 5 years. This is something that
in centuries past was not considered, just room and board were provided.
The education was the reward.
All of this is predicated on the condition that Bob is a master (not
disputed) and is providing guidence and education for the period. If so,
then, then it all sounds like a bargain. if not, then, there is no contract.
