The distance he would have to commute each day makes this scenario highly unlikely. <br />Now, if he switched schools and started his own business in the town he moved to (again, 3+ hrs away to be near the Duggars), then I'm sure this would be possible. There have been no announcements of either of these things happening though. It was said that he went to school and worked with his father but then moved. So, did he move the business and change schools, or is he commuting each day?

I worked 30 hours a week, did a 20 hour a week internship, took 5 classes (15 credits) made it to every one of my son's baseball games and school events. The entire time I carried a 4.0 GPA. It's called having a schedule and keeping the schedule. CONGRATS, Jessa and Ben!!! Best wishes for a loving and successful marriage.

No one got hurt, and what they were asking was not in itself immoral. So relax. I'd be more worried if they had offered a bribe in exchange for a lie or to silence them to help cover up an immoral behaviour.
