Being real – I would certainly want someone like you for my daughter. Not just because I cannot afford to support a boy in learning, but because 1) If the boy will eventually learn and work, I would like to see him do so to know he is capable. I can’t imagine it to be easy. 2) my daughter hopes to work in a professional field but my personal feeling is that children should not be raised by baby sitters. If she is the bread winner, it would be a given. 3) a boy working and learning means, to me, that he is more than just koveah itim. That is an important value to build a home with.
My personal thought is that I think there are frum girls out there in college because they have a desire to be professionals, and there are some girls who are in college because they are willing to be professionals if that is what it will take to build a bayis ne’eman.
