Dear Always,
1. The correlation may have been reversedthe youth assimilated for higher opportunities in education and employment. It is not proven that separation was designed to prevent assimilation. It is also a guess if separation prevents assimilation, or enhances it.
2. Few professions ensure anything. Nursing is not comfortable employment in the USA. And it is especially demanding on young families.
3. There are plenty of job opportunities in the yeshiva world.
4. How people see chinuch as ther only job venue, is ridiculous. But there are plenty of people like that. To me, one who thinks like that does not belong in chinuch.
5. Taking money from the state, is viewed as a trade off of paying for public education and not using it. I’m not sure if the numbers work out. And even if they do, I’m not sure where I stand on that.
6. There is no difference between student loans if one is in yeshiva or College.
7. Health insurance is out of the question for the unemployed. It is in the best interest of the state to work out insurance with them.
8. There exists a number of kollel families that skimp on all their meals.
9. There are many working young families that take charity. Probably more than young learning families.
10. The question comes when a learning family has a high standard of living.
11. The yeshiva world can support the few learners that it has. It can not sustain a consistent increase in living standards, but who can?
