1) No ben Torah should be exposed to the atmosphere of a secular college or the kefira taught there. If it is necessary for parnosso then find a college that accepts credits from yeshiva (or a law school that accepts yeshiva as an undergrad) and take what is necessary and nothing else.
2) Tradtional professions are overcrowded because they have always represented “the easy way out”.
3) I have never suffered for want of a doctor the way I have been inconvenienced for want of a competent plumber. Plumbing and electrical are very lucrative trades, and provide a more than respectable parnosso. What is more, with more and more computerization of heating and cooling systems, a Yiddishe kop is necessary for understanding how to properly maintain and install them especially in the top end of HVAC contracting which is very proftable. Also time for us to have our own mechanics; anyone who has seen the kinds of pictures that goyishe mechanics are known for displaying know what I mean (and the auto mechanics and body shop guys who are refugees from the Zionist paradise or from the FSU and put on yarmulkes to get our business are frankly worse than the non-Jews and are renowned for cheating and lack of skill).
