somejew sarcasm notwithstanding, there is contradiction of a Rav giving a public plsak for the community and then a different psak for individuals.
I was told personally by someone whose son was in a very anti-college yeshiva in Yerushalaim. When his son asked the Rav privately, the rav did not object to this lamdan to go to college. Same is reported by R Lau – he was in R Auerbach yeshiva where there were no limudei chol, but upon insistence of R Lau’s uncle, R Auerbach allowed R Lau to study on his own in preparation for bagrut and even chastised him for lack of enthusiasm in learning sciences.
