I’m straining to avoid spraining my tongue which is stuck deep in my cheek.
Actually, this bochur is being taught quite a valuable lesson. This “baal haboss” now has to use his income to feed others. If had stayed in yeshiva, he would be the one sponging off others, or having his parents/in-laws paying his expenses.
There is a widely known and oft used quite offensive line by yeshivos who send their talmidim (of all ages) to collect tzedokoh for them, “We’re being mechanech these children on the mitzvah of tzedokoh.” The cognitive flaw is that true chinuch should be to GIVE, not to TAKE.
To relate to the scenario posed in the OP, the bochur is being trained to take, and exposed to the poor fortune of the bloke that left the walls of the beis hamedrash who now has to give. Now take that to its logical conclusion.
