hodulashem:
“I really want a learning boy but I don’t have the financial means to support… so I want someone that’s a real ben torah, sticks to daily sedarim, and is connected to a rebbi, and also works for a parnassah…”
I think the label “learner/earner” has a connotation of somebody who tends to view college, degrees, etc. as a somewhat of an ends unto themselves. I think what you’re looking for is commonly referred to as a working ben Torah.
