AAQ “Maybe, just ask your Rav specific questions: is there a problem taking subway to the city, listening about Newton laws for 4 hours and then taking subway back, and then becoming eligible to have a well-paying job for life?”
1. If all they learned about was Newton law, great. That is not the case. Perhaps you are unaware what’s covered these days? (Any clue how left wing the curriculum has become? And if you haven’t checked it out in depth in the last five years, please do so before commenting:-)
2. At one point college had a very real affect on parnassah. That is no longer the case whatsoever. (What you mentioned about 50 percent now attending college is a part of it).
So why ask?
