Reply To: Working Guys

Thanks everyone for the advice.

Just to prove a point. My sister went to seminary last year. In her application she had to write a four page essay about herself. I read through it. All she wrote was that she wants to go to sem and then support a husband who will learn in kollel etc. My question to her was, being that our parents do not have money to support, how will she get married unless she marries a rich boy? When shes back from sem at age 19, she will not have any degree and will get a 12/hr job. How will she support?

I remember my mother saying “This is what she has to say in order to get in. Otherwise no seminary will take her”.

With regard to shaddchanim, there are some out there that do work with working guys. But what disgusts me is the look on the face of a BMG shaddchin, when I tell him I am working.
