Are you seriously asking that question here? Do yourself a solid favor and get your education so you are prepared for making a parnassah. Go and learn every single day also, just like my father,uncles, brothers, and sons all did and do.

If it affects your shidduchim to show that you are a responsible and productive member of society who is machshiv Torah every day, then I would ask myself if that is the right shidduch for me.

People are finally beginning to realize what the past generation has done to infantilize the present young generation. It has not been to our children’s benefit, in spite of what many people believe. We have a bunch of young adults who cannot for the long term, make it economically, and Mom and Pops’ gelt will eventually be running out for most of them. Not everyone owns successful businesses. So if they themselves are not properly prepared to earn a living, who is going to pay for THEIR children’s expenses, when THEY get married twenty years or so down the road and pooh pooh being educated? Bubby and Zaydie?
