The answer

The threat of imprisonment is considered a valid form of duress. If you predominantly believe that the manager will carry out his threat of imprisonment due to the non-payment of scholarship costs, then you are permitted to remain in the job until the threat is removed. Afterwards, you must leave it, unless you are in a state of necessity, in which case you are permitted to remain for as long as the necessity dictates, while striving to obtain a lawful income. This applies if the work is forbidden, as not all work in television is unlawful.
