Right but I mean in order to make a decent living you have to go to school for a degree. To me a learner earner is either pursuing a degree or certificate or at least having some sort of white collar job other than being a rabbi. I don’t care if he works for the frum community exclusively but the job can’t be rabbi because that isn’t a parnassa that will allow financial stability and in most cases requires a family to be on welfare in olam hazeh. I don’t want to be on welfare because I feel and based on conversations I have had with secular Jews, many people who are not frum choose not to be religious because of the chillul Hashem that the amount of us on welfare causes. And on top of that although having many kids is important, the facts that we frum yidden know as our core beliefs and ideologies are seen as wrong in the secular world.
