Does anyone have any example where chazal bring down any guidelines as to who should work versus shteigiing 24×7 or what portion of a person’s daily waking hours should be spent earning a parnassah for his/her family with the balance of their time devoted to limud torah. Do we read V Higisa Bo Yomam V Laylah as requiring full-time learning and if so, how do we explain hundreds of years of our mesorah where in the alte heim, the majority of yidden were farmers, retailers, as well as doctors and scientist, with some time carved out for limud torah?
