<i>yes you are right i agree ‘BUT’ how bout giving somone a chance to get a good job with out a degree</i>
Its probably not his choice to make, and even without a degree without the skills that the job needs you won’t get hired.
The reality is that the work world is very different from being in Yeshiva. Yeshiva students put themselves at a major disadvantage by starting much later than is normal in the secular world. Most of the secular folks I know graduated college at 21 or so, and went out and found a job and started moving up the ladder. By the time they had a family they had the skills and background to command a decent wage.
If you don’t even start thinking about work until you are 25 and have kids you are going to have to compete against those 21 year olds, and they generally don’t have kids to support.
The other thing to note is that for most jobs the mere fact of a BA is not really as important as what it is in. For example I work as a computer programmer, if you and I were both applying for a job my BA in Physics from a Top Tier university will beet you a BA in Talmud from a yeshiva.
In most cases for a given job a company will get a lot of resumes, they will sort threw and call in the 4-6 best people for interviews and hire one of them. If you don’t have the skills someone in that pile does.
I realize this is not what most of you want to hear, but that does not make it any less true.
