Mammele, something is either muttar or ossur. If something is muttar and you just machmir, you can’t make a tumul about it. At least, do not expect others to pay for your chumros.The Halochah about the secular education does change from here to E.Yisroel.
DY, you realize that you did really answer the Yichusdic’s very straight-forward question?
Derech HaMelech, people very often need secular education to earn(not to shnorr) a parnossah.
