“Several organizations help people with that hishtadlus, notably, PCS and Mesilah.”

PCS is worthless organization. All they do is allow you to subscribe to some weekly e-mail of posted jobs. These jobs are bogus and one should not waste their time with them. This may explain why they’ve lost their funding as well.

The tension on a ben Torah of modest means to support his family while leaving time to learn, daven, spend time with mishpacha, etc, can not be overstated. I therefor wanted to bring up the idea of out of town communities which are far less expensive to live in. There are many excelent ones with all frum amenities, where houses can be purchased for 150-300k. Communities like Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Cincinatti, beyond having all the frum amenities and affordable living, have terrific gov’t help with tuition. It may mean living a bit further from mishpacha, but it behooves us to calculae the losses and gains. In Detroit and Cleveland, the bnei Torah are many and a house can be purchased for 100k…but their economies are weak. “Out of town” communities also offer great opportunity to play an integral role in the kehilla. Kdai to look into and consider.

If, after consulting with one’s parents and Torah mentors, one decides to pursue a career in a design field (architecture, engineering, construction, interior design, etc.), the following should be of interest:

In cooperation with ORT, I have developed a series of ONLINE Torah-oriented CADD (computer-aided design and drafting) courses. For these college-level courses, McGraw-Hill has agreed to publish a special edition of their standard textbook with exercises involving drawing the Mishkan and the Bais HaMikdash HaShlishi TVBB”A, based on my architectural renderings, published at the former Web site of Machon Lev in Yerushalaim –

HaMishkan:
