Regarding our attitude towards careers and work, ponder the following: “B’zeiat apecha tochal lechem” “Yegiah kapecha ki tochal, ASHRECHA v’tov lach.” “V’ameich kulom tzadikim, leolam yirshu eretz, nezer mata’ai, ma’aseh yadai lehitpaer.” Clearly the Torah looks favorably upon those who take pride in their jobs and their labors. Why do we int he frum community feel the need to discount the value of that which the Torah esteems?
