Bored at work, are you serious, EIGHT YEARS?!?!?
Some younger relatives told me that very, very chashuv rebbeim in their yeshiva – you’d know the names – learned full time in kollel for five years before starting to teach.
Sorry, I get frosted when I hear how cavalier people are when they talk about the “less serious boys” who want to learn less than x number of years (usually 5). Or they go for these pie in the sky numbers. They have no idea what kind of mesirus nefesh goes into learning in kollel. Until the support stops and their husbands either aren’t on the rebbe track, have no offers, or aren’t at resourceful. Then the mesirus nefesh starts.
And about your other siblings: do you think there’ll be any money left for the youngest? Sure, your parents won’t have tuition and babysitting expenses but after supporting all their children, instead of encouraging them to be independent, the parents will not be in a good place. And the local mosdos, that the parents might have been able to funnel some of their excess money into, won’t be doing so well either.
