I think this is a sickness in our world. People think that any occupation besides Torah is meaningless. This simply is not true, and is not the Torah’s hashkafa.
This sort of thinking is a large part of the reason why people who should not be learning do not go out and work; they have been taught that it is worthless.
In fact, not only is it wrong, and harmful to people who end up not learning, but it is even harmful for the people who remain learning. A person should be learning because it is more valuable than all the other things he could be doing. Instead, he ends up learning because everything else is worthless. Well, it doesn’t say very much about the Torah if it is only better than worthless pursuits. It is just better than worthless.
To address the question: There is value to all sorts of jobs. ?? ????? ????, ???? ????.
I don’t work just to make money; I work because it is fulfilling to be involved in productive activity. And my field is not some touchy feely field. And on days when I’m tired in the morning, I quote chazal, ????? ????? ?????? ?? ??????.
