Yehudayona-ZD’s statements are very relevant as most 18 year old boys don’t not have hundreds of thousands of dollars in a fund to replace a paying career. The reality in the world today is that we live in societies where being employed right out of high school (typically at age 18) without a higher education (which takes at least until age 20 to complete-at best, age 22 is more likely- and that’s without any full time Torah learning) does not typically pay enough to establish a family. You can’t ignore that reality. Girls looking for guys who are working do not usually define “working” as an unstable job paying minimum wage, but are rather searching for a guy with an education and a career path. Likewise, girls who want learning guys wouldn’t want guys who just finished yeshiva high school and have yet to spend a couple of years doing full time learning.
