Postsemgirl, back in the day, a quarter century ago when I went to sem, they didn’t stress kollel as much as serious life-long learning. What they do now sometimes seems more like turning off from than brainwashing for.
Brooklyn19, who is more privileged:
a) a couple being generously supported for 5 years minimum?
b) a couple that isn’t being supported at all but manages to stay in kollel for a year or two?
c) a couple where the husband learns half day, works half day?
d) a couple where the husband works full time and learns steadily and seriously on a daily basis?
The correct answer is, there are too many more variables to be able to give a definitive answer. ANY of these couples could be truly privileged, if they keep it real and live l’shem Shamayim.
