I in fact went to one of the yeshivas whose views you claim you represent. I went to college (a touro type institution) as a necessary evil and consulted my Rabbeim every step of the way. These days college is a necessary evil in the same way that the job itself is, though it’s not just for a doctor but for most jobs. the evil isn’t as much the hashkafas that are talked about as much as it is time spent not learning. I really don’t think I have a problem with what you are saying, rather those (and I think tryingmybest has this view and correct me if I’m wrong) who say college is assur for everyone no matter what.
