Reply To: Staying in Beis Medrash vs. Getting a Degree

d9, being a baal teshuva yourself you probaly understand the desire for more torah and learning and their is no reason for you to discorage their will to learn. as they correctly said, parnassah is all in the hands of the abishter and if they are learning torah for hashem, parnassah isnt a fear. every parent davens for their children to be talmedei chachamim but many along the way discorage it way to much so please allow them to remain in yeshiva as long as they like and leave the parnassah up to hashem, believe me He knows how to run the world.
