While I was learning in Kollel 3 sedarim I used my bein hasedarim times (including Erev and Motzaei Shabbos) to take on-line courses and prepare for tests. When it came time to leave Kollel after a number of years I had the education to obtain a job and start supporting my family.
Perhaps we need to have advisors associated with the Kollelim that can advise individual Kollel members on how to start preparting for earning a parnassa during their down times in Kollel so that they are prepared and trained to find a job as soon as they leave Kollel. Why haven’t these advisors been established already, and what have Kollel yungeleit been doing with their bein hazemanim and bain hasedarim times?
Kollel yungerleit are smart, resourceful, proficient and trained to do do several things at one time and should be positioned to land some jobs that can provide serious parnassas!
