Thanks for posing. I agree with you.
It’s not fair that a “working guy” (who, mind you, has a serious shiur every day) is viewed as a lesser learner than many “kollel guys” who…well, don’t exactly learn. Not, Torah, anyway..
Btw, before anyone gets angry: I know that there are guys who work and heven’t picked up a sefer in forever, and kollel guys who actually learn.
That’s society, though. Image. Image. Image. As long as you’re ‘in kollel’, you’re good, just don’t go out to work.
